Sometimes, only one or several files from an .rpm package are required and there is no need to install it on the system.
Let`s find where file(s) will be put after .rpm package install:

Code: Select all

# rpm -qlp nagios-plugins-1.4.15-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm | grep rbl
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/check_rbl.c

And extract only it from the archive:

Code: Select all

# rpm2cpio nagios-plugins-1.4.15-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm | cpio -ivd ./usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/check_rbl.c
