    Summary: A GNU archiving program
    Description: 
    GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive.  Archives
    are files which contain a collection of other files plus information
    about them, such as their file name, owner, timestamps, and access
    permissions.  The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic
    tape, or a pipe.  GNU cpio supports the following archive formats:  binary,
    old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1
    tar.  By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are
    compatible with older cpio programs.  When it is extracting files from
    archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading
    and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.
