+.SH NAME
+rpm2cpio \- convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+\fBrpm2cpio\fR [\fIfile\fR.rpm]
+.fi
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBrpm2cpio\fR utility converts the \fB\&.rpm\fR file specified as its sole argument to a \fBcpio\fR archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argument is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, \fBrpm2cpio\fR 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 \fBcpio\fR(1) utility.
