This command is used to convert a RPM package file (.rpm) into a cpio archive format. Here is a breakdown of the command:
rpm2cpio: This is the name of the command-line tool used to convert RPM packages to cpio archives.${filename-rpm}: This is a placeholder representing the file name of the RPM package you want to convert. You need to replace${filename-rpm}with the actual name of the RPM file you have.
In order to use this command, you would typically open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where the RPM file is located, and then execute the command by replacing ${filename-rpm} with the appropriate file name. The resulting cpio archive would be extracted from the RPM package and can be used, for example, to inspect the contents of the package or extract specific files.
