GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or
tar archive, 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. The tar format is provided for compatibility with the
tar program. By default, cpio creates binary
format archives, for compatibility with older cpio programs.
When extracting from archives, cpio automatically recognizes
which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on
machines with a different byte-order.
