When faced with this kind of problem, you can also use the "apropos"
command or its equivalent, "man -k" (for keyword). In this case:

[rpaiz at rodolfo ~]$ apropos cpio
cpio                 (1)  - copy files to and from archives
rpm2cpio             (8)  - Extract cpio archive from RPM Package
Manager (RPM) package

[rpaiz at rodolfo ~]$ apropos rpm
RPM2                 (3pm)  - Perl bindings for the RPM Package Manager
API
rpm2cpio             (8)  - Extract cpio archive from RPM Package
Manager (RPM) package
rpm                  (8)  - RPM Package Manager
rpmbuild             (8)  - Build RPM Package(s)
rpmdeps              (8)  - Generate RPM Package Dependencies
RPM::Specfile        (3pm)  - Perl extension for creating RPM Specfiles

Both commands yield very useful output.
