Is there any way to get file types (or more exactly, list of binaries) from rpm package file without unpacking it? It's assumed that there is a rpm file which isn't installed and we need just to learn file types inside it.

EDIT: I don't need just list of files, but files' types.

For a single package rpm -qpl package.rpm works.

If you want to select multiple packages and get file lists for all of them at once (with an indication of what package they are from) then --filesbypkg is more useful.

You should be able to use the -filesbypkg switch (see the man page):

rpm -q -filesbypkg -p file.rpm

From the man page:

 --filesbypkg<br>
    This lists all the files in each package.

If you want to filter that down to specific types, that would be easy with some shell stuff.
