Can anyone tell me the switches to rpm to find out what program belongs
to what package?

If it were me, a quick look at man rpm would suggest two switches
QUERY OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm query command is
rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]
-a, --all
Query all installed packages. |

Hmmm,
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/diff

I have tried exactly as you suggest here and can't seem to get it right.
