These are the example programs from MaximumRPM, updated to today's rpmlib.
You can find MaximumRPM on the http://www.rpm.org/ site.
To build these, edit the makefile as appropriate (if you're using gcc,
you should not have to change anything), then "make all". 3 utilities
will be built:
dumprpm: % dumprpm filename
Dumps a textual description of the the contents of the named RPM
file on disk.
showdb: % showdb rpmname
Dumps a textual description of the named RPM. The RPM must be
currently installed in the database.
showdb2: % showdb2 rpmname
Dumps a textual description of the named RPM, like showdb. However,
uses a database query rather than a brute-force scan to locate the
rpm (should be much more efficient).
You will also find the string.txt file. This documents the only
difficulty I had updating these programs.
