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(1) compressed by default.

       In opposite to rpm2cpiorpm2archive 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 postfix 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.
