14: ccppiioo is an archiving utility that reads and writes files in the
15: format specified by the ccppiioo AArrcchhiivvee/IInntteerrcchhaannggee FFiillee FFoorrmmaatt
16: specified in IEEE standard 1003.1-1988.
17:
18: ***** Options *****
19:
20: ccppiioo recognizes the following command-line options:
21:
22: -aa Reset the access times of input files after they have been
23: copied. When the -ll option is also specified, the linked
24: files do not have their access times reset. Can be used
25: only with the -oo or -ii options.
26:
27: -BB Change the size of a block. Input/output is to be blocked
28: 5,120 bytes to the record. This option can be used only
29: with the -oo or -ii options, for data directed to or from
30: character-special files.
31:
32: -cc Write header information in ASCII characters for
33: portability. Can be used only with the -ii or -oo options.
34:
35: -dd Creates directories as needed. Can be used only with the -ii
36: or -pp options.
37:
38: -ff Copy all files except those in whose names match a _p_a_t_t_e_r_n.
39: Can be used only with the -ii option.
40:
41: -ii In. Read the standard input, which it assumes to be an
42: archive that had been created with the -oo option to ccppiioo.
43: Copy all files within the archive whose names match a
44: _p_a_t_t_e_r_n into the current directory (default, all files).
45:
46: -ll Whenever possible, link files rather than copying them. Can
47: be used only with the -pp option.
48:
49: -mm Retain previous modification times. This option is
50: ineffective on directories that are being copied. Can be
51: used only with the -ii or -pp options.
52:
53: -oo Out. Copy all files whose names match a _p_a_t_t_e_r_n (default,
54: all files) into an archive written to standard output.
55:
56: -pp Pass mode. This option causes ccppiioo to read standard input
57: for a list of file names to copy to destination _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y.
58: This mode of operation is similar in functionality to
59: command ccppddiirr, with the added ability to specify individual
60: file names via standard input.

72:
73: -rr Interactively rename files. Before it copies a file, ccppiioo
74: asks you to rename the file. If you type just <rreettuurrnn>,
75: ccppiioo skips the file. Should be used only with the -ii or -oo
76: options.
77:
78: -tt Print a table of contents of an existing archive; do not
79: copy files from the archive. Can be used only with the -ii
80: option.
81:
82: -uu Copy files unconditionally. Usually an older file will not
83: replace a new file with the same name. Can be used only
84: with the -ii or -pp options.
85:
86: -vv Verbose option: print the names of all affected files. Can
87: be used only with the -ii option. Provides a detailed
88: listing when used with the -tt option.

90: ***** Operands *****
91:
92: The following operands are available:
93:
94: _p_a_t_t_e_r_n
95: This names the files to be manipulated by ccppiioo. This can be
96: a simple regular expression.
97:
98: _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
99: The destination directory.
100:
101: ***** Multi-Volume Operation *****
102:
103: ccppiioo supports multi-volume backups and restoration when using the
104: ``raw'' (i.e., character-special) floppy device. If a ccppiioo
105: archive exceeds the size of one floppy diskette, ccppiioo will issue
106: a prompt of the form:
107:
108:
109: Ready for volume 2
110: Type "device/name" when ready to proceed ...
111:
112:
113: Remove the first diskette and insert the next logical diskette.
114: Enter the name of the floppy device, e.g. /ddeevv/rrffhhaa00 or
115: /ddeevv/rrffvvaa11, and press <EEnntteerr>. Please note well that multi-volume
116: operation requires the raw floppy device and the use of pre-
117: formatted floppy diskettes.
118:
119: ***** Examples *****
120:
121: The following command copies all files and directories listed by
122: the command ffiinndd and copies them into the archive nneewwffiillee.ccppiioo:

135: cpio Command cpio
136:
137:
138:
139: find . -print | cpio -oc > ../newfile.cpio
140:
141:
142: The following command reads the ccppiioo archive nneewwffiillee.ccppiioo and
143: extracts all files whose names match the patterns mmeemmoo/aall or
144: mmeemmoo/bb*:
145:
146:
147: cpio -icdv "memo/al" "memo/b*" <../newfile.cpio
148:
149:
150: Note that the -dd option forces ccppiioo to create the sub-directory
151: mmeemmoo and write the files into it. Otherwise, the files would
152: have been written into the current directory. Option -vv causes
153: ccppiioo to display each file name as it is extracted from the
154: archive.
155:
156: The following commands perform a multi-volume backup of all files
157: on mounted filesystem /vv to the character-special (i.e., ``raw'')
158: floppy device /ddeevv/rrffhhaa00:
159:
160:
161: su root
162: cd /v
163: find . -print | cpio -ocv >/dev/rfha0
164:
165:
166: If the ccppiioo archive exceeds one diskette, you will be prompted to
167: insert another formatted diskette.
