man rpm

This will produce the manual pages for the "rpm" command and while it is a 
reasonably long read, should give you a list of all the functions - even 
tho you got the answer from here it pays to learn how to use the man 
command as it can become invaluable in the future if you cannot get an 
answer from other sources.

It also pays to know that using ">" at the end of most commands will 
redirect standard output to a file - this can be used for many other 
commands as well such as the command 'echo "Hi Mum" > hi-mum.txt' (or, 
say, cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1,3 -d: > /tmp/user-and-id-list.txt )
