The synopsis however seems to dictate it coming first:
cpio -o [-AaBcjLvZz] [-C bytes] [-F archive] [-H format] [-O archive]
< name-list [> archive]
cpio -i [-6BbcdfjmrSstuvZz] [
I found this discrepancy surprising:
$ find /bin -print | cpio -o -Hustar >foo
$ file foo
foo: POSIX tar archive
$ find /bin -print | cpio -Hustar -o >foo
$ file foo
foo: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with CRC)
The argument order should not matter here.
Fix: When proc
