Hello all,

Could you please let me know how to remove a set of files from the source
CPIO archive with out extracting it and writing in to a destination archive
file.

I have explored cpio-filter (
http://search.cpan.org/~pixel/Archive-Cpio-0.07/bin/cpio-filter), implemented
in perl. Today it reads the complete CPIO file and removed the exclude
content and write it in to the destination file.

We want a cpio filter to work on a FIFO (name pipes) in which you will
receive streams of 64K chunk of data, and apply this filter (exclude the
file) on this stream and write in to the file.


Do we have any filter which is already available, if not can you please
throw some light on how to implement this.


Thanks,

Senthil
