I don't know what that has to do with cpio, but if you're going go build kernels and change your boot configuration or do pretty much anything at such a low level of system adminsitration, then you're just going to have to deal with the command-line tools and their documentation. I can tell you that when cpio writes 0 files in output mode (-o), the result is always exactly 512 bytes (one block, where block has the old half-kilobyte definition).
