Sure, if you're trying to debug it. :-)

Are you talking about package files or installed packages from the
local RPMDB? The procedure is different for each one, but once you
have a "Header" object for the package in question, use something like
this to get the name, version, etc.:
char *N, *E, *V, *R, *A;
E = NULL;
headerNEVRA(hdr, (const char **) &N, (const char **) &E, (const char **) &V, (const char **) &R,
(const char **) &A);
printf("Package: %s (%s:%s-%s) for %s\n", N, ((E)?(E):("0")), V, R, A);
headerFreeData(N, RPM_STRING_TYPE);
headerFreeData(E, RPM_STRING_TYPE);
headerFreeData(V, RPM_STRING_TYPE);
headerFreeData(R, RPM_STRING_TYPE);
headerFreeData(A, RPM_STRING_TYPE);
"hdr" is, of course, the Header.
