To list the contents of installed packages, you can use:

$ rpm -ql texinfo

/usr/bin/makeinfo
/usr/bin/texi2dvi
/usr/bin/texindex
/usr/share/doc/texinfo-4.7
/usr/share/doc/texinfo-4.7/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/texinfo-4.7/ChangeLog
...


For uninstalled packages, you can use:

$ rpm -qpl PackageName.rpm
