rpm2cpio(8)							   rpm2cpio(8)

NAME
       rpm2cpio	- Extract cpio archive from RPM	Package	Manager	(RPM) package.

SYNOPSIS
       rpm2cpio	[filename]

DESCRIPTION
       rpm2cpio	 converts  the	.rpm  file specified as	a single argument to a
       cpio archive on standard	out.  If a  '-'	 argument  is  given,  an  rpm
       stream is read from standard in.

       Note:  the  CPIO	 format	cannot host individual files over 4GB in size,
       and so this tool	is considered obsolete.	 Use rpm2archive instead.

       rpm2cpio	glint-1.0-1.i386.rpm | cpio -dium
       cat glint-1.0-1.i386.rpm	| rpm2cpio - | cpio -tv
