.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
copies files between archives and directories.
|
|
This implementation can extract from tar, pax, cpio, zip, jar, ar,
|
|
and ISO 9660 cdrom images and can create tar, pax, cpio, ar,
|
|
and shar archives.
|
|

|
|
one of the patterns will be extracted.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|

.It Fl J , Fl Fl xz
|
|
(o mode only)

|
|
instead of copying.
|

|
In input mode, this option is ignored.
|
|
.It Fl Fl lzma
|
|
(o mode only)
|
|
Compress the file with lzma-compatible compression before writing it.
|
|
In input mode, this option is ignored; lzma compression is recognized
|
|
automatically on input.
|
|
.It Fl Fl lzop
|
|
(o mode only)
|
|
Compress the resulting archive with
|
|
.Xr lzop 1 .

|
.It Fl n , Fl Fl numeric-uid-gid
|

(i mode, only with
|
|
.Fl t )
|
|
Display numeric uid and gid.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays the user and group names when they are provided in the
|
|
archive, or looks up the user and group names in the system
|
|
password database.
|
|
.It Fl Fl no-preserve-owner
|
|
(i mode only)
|
|
Do not attempt to restore file ownership.
|
|
This is the default when run by non-root users.
|
|
.It Fl O Ar file
|
|
Write archive to
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
.It Fl o , Fl Fl create
|
|

|
|
.It Fl Fl preserve-owner

|
|
.It Fl R Oo user Oc Ns Oo : Oc Ns Oo group Oc , Fl Fl owner Oo user Oc Ns Oo : Oc Ns Oo group Oc
|
|
Set the owner and/or group on files in the output.
|
|
If group is specified with no user
|
|
(for example,
|
|
.Fl R Ar :wheel )
|
|
then the group will be set but not the user.
|
|
If the user is specified with a trailing colon and no group
|
|
(for example,
|
|
.Fl R Ar root: )
|
|
then the group will be set to the user's default group.
|
|
If the user is specified with no trailing colon, then
|
|
the user will be set but not the group.
|
|
In
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
modes, this option can only be used by the super-user.
|
|
(For compatibility, a period can be used in place of the colon.)
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
(All modes.)
|
|
Rename files interactively.
|
|
For each file, a prompt is written to
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty
|
|
containing the name of the file and a line is read from
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty .
|
|
If the line read is blank, the file is skipped.
|
|
If the line contains a single period, the file is processed normally.
|
|
Otherwise, the line is taken to be the new name of the file.
|
|
.It Fl t , Fl Fl list
|
|
(i mode only)
|
|
List the contents of the archive to stdout;
|
|
do not restore the contents to disk.
|
|
.It Fl u , Fl Fl unconditional

|
|
Ordinarily, an older file will not overwrite a newer file on disk.

Print a dot to stderr for each file as it is processed.
|
|
Superseded by
|
|
.Fl v .

|
|
Print the program version information and exit.
|
|
.It Fl y
|
|
(o mode only)
|
|
Compress the archive with bzip2-compatible compression before writing it.
|

In input mode, this option is ignored;
|
|
bzip2 compression is recognized automatically on input.
|
|
.It Fl Z
|
|
(o mode only)
|
|
Compress the archive with compress-compatible compression before writing it.
|
|
In input mode, this option is ignored;
|
|
compression is recognized automatically on input.
|
|
.It Fl z
|
|
(o mode only)
|
|
Compress the archive with gzip-compatible compression before writing it.

|
|
The following environment variables affect the execution of

.Nm :
|

.Bl -tag -width ".Ev BLOCKSIZE"
|
|
.It Ev LANG
|
|
The locale to use.
|

.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is traditionally used to copy file hierarchies in conjunction
|
|
with the
|
|
.Xr find 1
|
|
command.
|
|
The first example here simply copies all files from
|
|
.Pa src
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa dest :
|
|
.Dl Nm find Pa src | Nm Fl pmud Pa dest
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By carefully selecting options to the
|
|
.Xr find 1
|
|
command and combining it with other standard utilities,
|
|
it is possible to exercise very fine control over which files are copied.
|
|
This next example copies files from
|
|
.Pa src
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa dest
|
|
that are more than 2 days old and whose names match a particular pattern:
|
|
.Dl Nm find Pa src Fl mtime Ar +2 | Nm grep foo[bar] | Nm Fl pdmu Pa dest
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This example copies files from
|
|
.Pa src
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa dest
|
|
that are more than 2 days old and which contain the word
|
|
.Do foobar Dc :
|
|
.Dl Nm find Pa src Fl mtime Ar +2 | Nm xargs Nm grep -l foobar | Nm Fl pdmu Pa dest
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The mode options i, o, and p and the options
|
|
a, B, c, d, f, l, m, r, t, u, and v comply with SUSv2.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The old POSIX.1 standard specified that only
|
|
.Fl i ,
|
|
.Fl o ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
were interpreted as command-line options.
|
|
Each took a single argument of a list of modifier
|
|
characters.
|
|
For example, the standard syntax allows
|
|
.Fl imu
|
|
but does not support
|
|
.Fl miu
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl i Fl m Fl u ,
|
|
since
|
|
.Ar m
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar u
|
|
are only modifiers to
|
|
.Fl i ,
|
|
they are not command-line options in their own right.
|
|
The syntax supported by this implementation is backwards-compatible
|
|
with the standard.
|
|
For best compatibility, scripts should limit themselves to the
|
|
standard syntax.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
There is no current POSIX standard for the cpio command; it appeared
|
|
in
|
|
.St -p1003.1-96
|
|
but was dropped from
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The cpio, ustar, and pax interchange file formats are defined by
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001
|
|
for the pax command.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The original
|
|
.Nm cpio
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm find
|
|
utilities were written by Dick Haight
|
|
while working in AT&T's Unix Support Group.
|
|
They first appeared in 1977 in PWB/UNIX 1.0, the
|
|
.Dq Programmer's Work Bench
|
|
system developed for use within AT&T.
|
|
They were first released outside of AT&T as part of System III Unix in 1981.
|
|
As a result,
|
|
.Nm cpio
|
|
actually predates
|
|
.Nm tar ,
|
|
even though it was not well-known outside of AT&T until some time later.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This is a complete re-implementation based on the
|
|
.Xr libarchive 3
|
|
library.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The cpio archive format has several basic limitations:
|
|
It does not store user and group names, only numbers.
|
|
As a result, it cannot be reliably used to transfer
|
|
files between systems with dissimilar user and group numbering.
|
|
Older cpio formats limit the user and group numbers to
|
|
16 or 18 bits, which is insufficient for modern systems.
|
|
The cpio archive formats cannot support files over 4 gigabytes,
|
|
except for the
|
|
.Dq odc
|
|
variant, which can support files up to 8 gigabytes.
