    This functionality is provided by rpm, not yum:

    rpm -ql [packagename]

    From the documentation:

    The general form of an rpm query command is

     rpm {-q | --query} [PACKAGE_NAME] [query-options]

    Information selection options:

     -l, --list
     List files in package.

    Ubuntu actually provides a cheat sheet on similar actions:
