NAME
       rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive

SYNOPSIS
       rpm2cpio [file.rpm]

DESCRIPTION
       The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argu‐
       ment to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no  argument
       is  given,  an  rpm  stream is read from standard input. In both cases,
       rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard output  is
       a  terminal.  Therefore,	 the output is usually redirected to a file or
       piped through the cpio(1) utility.

EXAMPLES
