Package Descriptions

cpio
A Backup and Archiving Utility

GNU cpio is a program to manage archives of files. This package also
includes 'mt', a tape drive control program. Cpio copies files into or
out of a cpio or tar archive. An archive is a file that contains other
files plus information about them, such as their pathname, owner, time
stamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the
disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. This package normally includes the
program 'rmt', which providesremote tape drive control. Because there
is a compatible 'rmt' in the'dump' package, 'rmt' is not included in
this package. If you are planningto use the remote tape features
provided by cpio, install the'dump' package as well.
