- --- About the client ---
-
- This client lets XAD view and extract RPM Package Manager (.RPM) files. You
- may also know this as "RedHat Package Manager" files. When you extract the
- file, you will only find a single file, ending in ".cpio". This is because
- an RPM file is just some special headers and a .cpio.gz archive. RPM will
- automatically do the gzip decompression, but it can't directly examine the
- .cpio archive for the same reason XAD can't directly look at the .tar part
- of a .tar.gz archive. If this bugs you, use Voodoo-X :)
