Description : GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. Archives
: are files which contain a collection of other files plus information
: about them, such as their file name, owner, timestamps, and access
: permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic
: tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary,
: old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1
: tar. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are
: compatible with older cpio programs. When it is extracting files from
: archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading
: and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.
:
: Install cpio if you need a program to manage file archives.
