|
> Copies files in and out of archives.
|
|
> Supports the following archive formats: cpio's custom binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar.
|

|
- Take a list of file names from `stdin` and add them [o]nto an archive in cpio's binary format:
|
|
|
|
`echo "{{file1}} {{file2}} {{file3}}" | cpio -o > {{archive.cpio}}`
|
|
|
|
- Copy all files and directories in a directory and add them [o]nto an archive, in [v]erbose mode:
|
|
|
|
`find {{path/to/directory}} | cpio -ov > {{archive.cpio}}`
|
|
|
|
- P[i]ck all files from an archive, generating [d]irectories where needed, in [v]erbose mode:
|
|
|
|
`cpio -idv < {{archive.cpio}}`
