I got information from pax(1) man page, but i found cpio(1L) man page to be rather lacking. (Yeah, I saw the pointer to info.) Is it possible to have a genuine cpio(1L) 2.6 man page available? I got curious when I tried my luck with FreeBSD man page index ... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi ... and got a genuine man page, (had "FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE" selected per default). I found nothing in PR database about neutering the cpio man page; so went to cvsweb ... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/cpio/doc/cpio.1 ... which was missing the substantial version in there. I did a second trip to man.cgi & selected "FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE", which showed the rather empty man page. Just to confirm that I turned to cvs- mailing list stored locally, and here I found ... delphij 2006-10-23 03:33:27 UTC ... 1.3.38.2 +0 -328 src/contrib/cpio/cpio.1 (dead) ... 1.1.1.1.40.1 +0 -558 src/contrib/cpio/cpio.texi (dead) ... 1.2.2.1 +41 -0 src/contrib/cpio/doc/cpio.1 (new) 1.2.2.1 +563 -0 src/contrib/cpio/doc/cpio.texi (new) ... no wonder (NOW!) that cvsweb did not 330-some line version of man page as the path had been changed, and I did not happen to misplace my mind during world build & install, along with some combination of entry in /etc/make.conf (yup, checked there too;). GNU, drown thyself with info! - Parv --
