| Technical Details | CPIO files are stored to disk as binary files. Meta information is also stored in binary as per the original specification. There have been revisions of the format however that used ASCII character set representation to store Meta information. The format has cross compatibility with the TAR archiving format (allowing you to open TAR archives) and can even recognize different byte-order arrangement of different archiving formats. In the POSIX.1-1988 standard the cpio format has a file limitation of 8 GB. |
