rpm2archive - Create tar archive from RPM Package Manager (RPM) package.
rpm2archive {-n|--nocompression} {-f|--format=pax|cpio} FILES
rpm2archive converts the .rpm files specified as arguments to tar archives on standard out. If a '-' argument is given, an rpm stream is read from standard in. If standard out is connected to a terminal, the output is written to tar files with a ".tgz" suffix, gzip compressed by default. In opposite to rpm2cpio rpm2archive also works with RPM packages containing files greater than 4GB which are not supported by cpio.
-n, --nocompression Generate uncompressed tar archive and use ".tar" as post‐ fix of the file name. -f, --format=pax|cpio Generate archive in specified format: pax (the default format) or cpio. Note that the cpio format cannot host files over 4GB in size and is only supported here for backwards compatibility.
