.SH OPTIONS
.SS "Main operation mode:"
.TP
`\fB\-0, \-\-null\fR'
Read a list of filenames terminated by a null character, instead
of a newline, so that files whose names contain newlines can be
archived. \s-1GNU\s0 find is one way to produce a list of
null-terminated filenames. This option may be used in copy-out
and copy-pass modes.
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-extract\fR
Extract files from an archive (run in copy\-in
mode)
.TP
`\fB\-a, \-\-reset\-access\-time\fR'
Reset the access times of files after reading them, so that it
does not look like they have just been read.
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-create\fR
Create the archive (run in copy\-out mode)
.TP
`\fB\-A, \-\-append\fR'
Append to an existing archive. Only works in copy-out mode. The
archive must be a disk file specified with the \-O or \-F (\-file)
option.
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-pass\-through\fR
Run in copy\-pass mode
.TP
`\fB\-b, \-\-swap\fR'
Swap both halfwords of words and bytes of halfwords in the data.
Equivalent to \-sS. This option may be used in copy-in mode. Use
this option to convert 32\-bit integers between big-endian and
little-endian machines.

Identical to \*(lq\-H newc\*(rq, use the new (\s-1SVR4\s0) portable format.
If you wish the old portable (\s-1ASCII\s0) archive format, use \*(lq\-H odc\*(rq instead.
\fB\-c\fR
Identical to "\-H newc", use the new (SVR4)
portable format. If you wish the old portable
(ASCII) archive format, use "\-H odc" instead.
.TP
`\fB\-C \s-1IO\-SIZE\s0, \-\-io\-size=IO\-SIZE\fR'
Set the I/O block size to IO-SIZE bytes.

`\fB\-f, \-\-nonmatching\fR'
Only copy files that do not match any of the given patterns.
.TP
`\fB\-F, \-\-file=archive\fR'
Archive filename to use instead of standard input or output. To
use a tape drive on another machine as the archive, use a filename
that starts with `\fB\s-1HOSTNAME:\s0\fR'. The hostname can be preceded by a
username and an `\fB@\fR' to access the remote tape drive as that user,
if you have permission to do so (typically an entry in that user's
`\fB~/.rhosts\fR' file).
.TP
`\fB\-\-force\-local\fR'
\fB\-\-force\-local\fR
With \-F, \-I, or \-O, take the archive file name to be a local file
even if it contains a colon, which would ordinarily indicate a
remote host name.
.TP
`\fB\-H \s-1FORMAT\s0, \-\-format=FORMAT\fR'
Use archive format \s-1FORMAT\s0. The valid formats are listed below;
the same names are also recognized in all\-caps. The default in
copy-in mode is to automatically detect the archive format, and in
copy-out mode is `\fBbin\fR'.

How to (re)generate manual page:
--------------------------------
1. apply the `help.patch` to cpio sources and then re-build sources
2. run help2man on cpio shell wrapper:
`cpio_binary=../cpio-2.12/src/cpio help2man ./cpio > latest-output`
3. note the changes in `git diff latest-output`, those will probably need
manual tweaking in resulting manual page.
4. move the generated file on place:
`cp latest-output ../cpio.1`
5. apply `downstream.patch`
`cd .. ; patch -p1 cpio.1 < man/downstream.patch`
6. fix collisions and regenerate `downstream.patch`
`diff -u man/latest-output cpio.1 > man/downstream.patch`

.SH NAME
-cpio \- manual page for cpio 2.12
+cpio \- copy files to and from archives
+.SH __WARNING__
+.PP
+The cpio utility is considered LEGACY based on POSIX specification. Users are
+encouraged to use other archiving tools for archive creation.
+
+If you decided to use cpio, you should almost always force cpio to use the
+ustar format in copy-out mode by the -H option (cpio -o -H ustar). This is
+because the ustar format is well defined in POSIX specification and thus
+readable by wide range of other archiving tools (including tar e.g.).
+
+By default, GNU cpio uses (for historical reasons) the very old binary format
+('bin') which has significant problems nowadays, e.g. with storing big inode
+numbers (see the Red Hat bug #952313).
+
+Note also that these days the modern 'pax' archive format should be considered
+as the default -- but this format is not implemented in GNU cpio. You should,
+again, consider using other archivers (e.g. 'tar --format=pax').
+
.SH SYNOPSIS
+\&\fBCopy-out mode\fR
+.PP
+In copy-out mode, cpio copies files into an archive. It reads a list
+of filenames, one per line, on the standard input, and writes the
+archive onto the standard output. A typical way to generate the list
+of filenames is with the find command; you should give find the \-depth
+option to minimize problems with permissions on directories that are
+unreadable. see \*(lqOptions\*(rq.

+\&\fBCopy-in mode\fR
+.PP
+In copy-in mode, cpio copies files out of an archive or lists the
+archive contents. It reads the archive from the standard input. Any
+non-option command line arguments are shell globbing patterns; only

.SH DESCRIPTION
+GNU cpio is a tool for creating and extracting archives, or copying
+files from one place to another. It handles a number of cpio formats as
+well as reading and writing tar files.
+.PP
+Following archive formats are supported: 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.

+.SH EXAMPLES
+When creating an archive, cpio takes the list of files to be
+processed from the standard input, and then sends the archive to the
+standard output, or to the device defined by the `\fB\-F\fR' option.
+Usually find or ls is used to provide this list to
+the standard input. In the following example you can see the
+possibilities for archiving the contents of a single directory.
+.PP
+.B % ls | cpio \-ov > directory.cpio
+.PP
+The `\fB\-o\fR' option creates the archive, and the `\fB\-v\fR' option prints the
+names of the files archived as they are added. Notice that the options
+can be put together after a single `\fB\-\fR' or can be placed separately on
+the command line. The `\fB>\fR' redirects the cpio output to the file
+`\fBdirectory.cpio\fR'.
+.PP
+If you wanted to archive an entire directory tree, the find command
+can provide the file list to cpio:
+.PP
+.B % find . \-print \-depth | cpio \-ov > tree.cpio
+.PP
+This will take all the files in the current directory, the
+directories below and place them in the archive tree.cpio. Again the
+`\fB\-o\fR' creates an archive, and the `\fB\-v\fR' option shows you the name of the
+files as they are archived. see \*(lqCopy\-out mode\*(rq. Using the `\fB.\fR' in
+the find statement will give you more flexibility when doing restores,
+as it will save file names with a relative path vice a hard wired,
+absolute path. The `\fB\-depth\fR' option forces `\fBfind\fR' to print of the
+entries in a directory before printing the directory itself. This
+limits the effects of restrictive directory permissions by printing the
+directory entries in a directory before the directory name itself.
+.PP
+Extracting an archive requires a bit more thought because cpio will
+not create directories by default. Another characteristic, is it will
+not overwrite existing files unless you tell it to.
+.PP
+.B % cpio \-iv < directory.cpio
+.PP
+This will retrieve the files archived in the file directory.cpio and
+place them in the present directory. The `\fB\-i\fR' option extracts the
+archive and the `\fB\-v\fR' shows the file names as they are extracted. If
+you are dealing with an archived directory tree, you need to use the
+`\fB\-d\fR' option to create directories as necessary, something like:
+.PP
+.B % cpio \-idv < tree.cpio
+.PP
+This will take the contents of the archive tree.cpio and extract it
+to the current directory. If you try to extract the files on top of
+files of the same name that already exist (and have the same or later
+modification time) cpio will not extract the file unless told to do so
+by the \-u option. see \*(lqCopy\-in mode\*(rq.
+.PP
+In copy-pass mode, cpio copies files from one directory tree to
+another, combining the copy-out and copy-in steps without actually
+using an archive. It reads the list of files to copy from the standard
+input; the directory into which it will copy them is given as a
+non-option argument. see \*(lqCopy\-pass mode\*(rq.
+.PP
+.B % find . \-depth \-print0 | cpio \-\-null \-pvd new-dir
+.PP
+The example shows copying the files of the present directory, and
+sub-directories to a new directory called new\-dir. Some new options are
+the `\fB\-print0\fR' available with \s-1GNU\s0 find, combined with the `\fB\-\-null\fR'
+option of cpio. These two options act together to send file names
+between find and cpio, even if special characters are embedded in the
+file names. Another is `\fB\-p\fR', which tells cpio to pass the files it
+finds to the directory `\fBnew-dir\fR'.
