Both formats, briefly

RPM

RPMIN

RPM packages software for Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS Stream, openSUSE and related systems, bundling the files to be installed with version and dependency details. The payload inside is a compressed archive. Convert one when you want to browse or pull out those files on a machine with no RPM tooling.

CPIO

CPIOOUT

CPIO stores a stream of files together with their metadata, and it is still standard where Linux boots from an initramfs image or where an RPM package carries its payload. Desktop software rarely opens it directly. Convert a CPIO archive when you need to see what a boot image or a package actually contains.
