Fedora Core 5: Update to Cpio 2.6-14.FC5 Enhances Archiving Capabilities

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.
