Dear cpio-developers,
there's misleading info in the --help option's output.
The help text gives the impression that there should be one terminating
null character for the complete list of filenames:
-0, --null A list of filenames is terminated by a null
character instead of a newline
You might change this to be correct by writing
Each filename of the list is expected to be
terminated by a null character instead
of a newline. This works even if filenames contain
newline(s).
You might add
The corresponding option for find is -print0.
Sure, my text is a lot longer....
Best regards,
Reinhold
