]

DESCRIPTION
Cpio -o
(copy out) uses the
name-list
arguments, or reads the standard input
to obtain a list of path names and copies those files onto the standard output
(or to the device /dev/rmt#) together with path name and status informa-
tion.
Cpio -i
(copy in) extracts files from the standard input (or from the device
/dev/rmt#) which is assumed to be the product of a previous
cpio -o
.
Only files with names that match
patterns
are selected.
Patterns
are given in
the name-generating notation of
sh
(1). In
patterns
, meta-characters
?
,
*
, and
[...]
match the slash / character. Multiple
patterns
may be specified and if
no
patterns
are specified, the default for
patterns
is
*
(i.e., select all files).
The extracted files are conditionally created and copied into the current
directory tree based upon the options described below.
Cpio -p
(pass) reads the standard input to obtain a list of path names of files
that are conditionally created and copied into the destination
directory
tree
based upon the options described below.
The meanings of the available options are:
#
Use /dev/rmt# as input (for
-i
) or output (for
-o
). Note: 6 has another
meaning described below.
a
Reset access times of input files after they have been copied.
B
Input/output is to be blocked 5,120 bytes to the record (does not apply
to the
pass
option; meaningful only with data directed to or from
/dev/
rmt?
).
c
Write
header
information in ASCII character form for portability.
d Directories
are to be created as needed.
h
Similar to
B
option, but block input/output to 250K bytes. This option is
only useful for streaming tape drive operation.
r
Interactively
rename
files. If the user types a null line, the file is skipped.
t
Print a
table of contents
of the input. No files are created.
u
Copy
unconditionally
(normally, an older file will not replace a newer file
with the same name).
v Verbose
: causes a list of file names to be printed. When used with the
t
option, the table of contents looks like the output of an
ls -l
command
(see
ls
(1)).
l
Whenever possible, link files rather than copying them. Usable only with
the
-p
option.
m
Retain previous file modification time. This option is ineffective on
directories that are being copied.
f
Copy in all files except those in
pattems
.
s
Swap bytes. Use only with the
-i
option.
S
Swap halfwords. Use only with the
-i
option.
