cpio - copy file archives in and out

The ccccppppiiiioooo utility produces and reads files in the format
specified by the ccccppppiiiioooo AAAArrrrcccchhhhiiiivvvveeee////IIIInnnntttteeeerrrrcccchhhhaaaannnnggggeeee FFFFiiiilllleeee FFFFoooorrrrmmmmaaaatttt
specified in _I_E_E_E _S_t_d. _1_0_0_3._1-_1_9_8_8.
The ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii (copy in) utility extracts files from the
standard input, which is assumed to be the product of a
previous ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo .... Only files with names that match _p_a_t_t_e_r_n_s
are selected. Multiple _p_a_t_t_e_r_n_s may be specified and if no
_p_a_t_t_e_r_n_s are specified, the default for _p_a_t_t_e_r_n_s is
selecting all files. The extracted files are conditionally
created and copied into the current directory, and possibly
any levels below, based upon the options described below and
the permissions of the files will be those of the previous
ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo .... The owner and group of the files will be that of
the current user unless the user has appropriate privileges,
which causes ccccppppiiiioooo to retains the owner and group of the
files of the previous ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo ....
The ccccppppiiiioooo ----pppp (pass) utility reads the standard input to
obtain a list of path names of files that are conditionally
created and copied into the destination _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y based upon
the options described below.
If an error is detected, the cause is reported and the ccccppppiiiioooo
utility will continue to copy other files. ccccppppiiiioooo will skip
over any unrecognized files which it encounters in the
archive.
The following restrictions apply to the ccccppppiiiioooo utility:
1 Pathnames are restricted to 256 characters.
2 Appropriate privileges are required to copy special files.
3 Blocks are reported in 512-byte quantities.
OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss
The following options are available:
----BBBB Input/output is to be blocked 5120 bytes to the record.
Can only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo or ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii for data that
is directed to or from character special files.

----aaaa Reset access times of input files after they have been
copied. When the ----llll option is also specified, the
linked files do not have their access times reset. Can
only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo or ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii ....
----cccc Write header information in ASCII character for for
portability. Can only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii or ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo
.... Note that this option should always be used to write
portable files.
----dddd Creates directories as needed. Can only be used with
ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii or ccccppppiiiioooo ----pppp ....
----ffff Copy in all files except those in _p_a_t_t_e_r_n_s . Can only
be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii ....
----llll Whenever possible, link files rather than copying them.
Can only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----pppp ....
----mmmm Retain previous modification times. This option is
ineffective on directories that are being copied. Can
only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii or ccccppppiiiioooo ----pppp ....
----rrrr Interactively rename files. The user is asked whether
to rename _p_a_t_t_e_r_n each invocation. Read and write
permissions for ////ddddeeeevvvv////ttttttttyyyy are required for this option.
If the user types a null line, the file is skipped.
Should only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii or ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo ....
----tttt Print a table of contents of the input. No files are
created. Can only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii ....
----uuuu Copy files unconditionally; usually an older file will
not replace a new file with the same name. Can only be
used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii or ccccppppiiiioooo ----pppp ....
----vvvv Verbose: cause the names of the affected files to be
printed. Can only be used with ccccppppiiiioooo ----iiii .... Provides a
detailed listing when used with the ----tttt option.
OOOOppppeeeerrrraaaannnnddddssss
The following operands are available:
_p_a_t_t_e_r_n_s Simple regular expressions given in the name-
generating notation of the shell.
_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y The destination directory.
EEEExxxxiiiitttt SSSSttttaaaattttuuuussss
The ccccppppiiiioooo utility exits with one of the following values:
0 All input files were copied.

2 The utility encountered errors in copying or accessing
files or directories. An error will be reported for
nonexistent files or directories, or permissions that
do not allow the user to access the source or target
files.
It is important to use the ----ddddeeeepppptttthhhh option of the ffffiiiinnnndddd utility
to generate pathnames for ccccppppiiiioooo .... This eliminates problems
ccccppppiiiioooo could have trying to create files under read-only
directories.
The following command:
ls | cpio -o > ../newfile
copies out the files listed by the llllssss utility and redirects
them to the file nnnneeeewwwwffffiiiilllleeee ....
The following command:
cat newfile | cpio -id "memo/al" "memo/b*"
uses the output file nnnneeeewwwwffffiiiilllleeee from the ccccppppiiiioooo ----oooo utility, takes
those files that match the patterns mmmmeeeemmmmoooo////aaaallll and mmmmeeeemmmmoooo////bbbb**** ,,,,
creates the directories below the current directory, and
places the files in the appropriate directories.
The command
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdlmv newdir
takes the file names piped to it from the ffffiiiinnnndddd utility and
copies or links those files to another directory named
nnnneeeewwwwddddiiiirrrr ,,,, while retaining the modification time.
FFFFIIIILLLLEEEESSSS
/dev/tty used to prompt the user for information when the
----iiii or ----rrrr options are specified.
