Hello,

The above mentioned web page and script shows a usage of cpio(1)
which I have never seen before:

	cpio -dump ${tmpdir}/img

I was curious, looked into the man page of cpio(1) and even in the
online manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/manual/cpio.html
but did not saw anything about the option '-dump'; can someone
bring a light to me? Thx

	matthias
