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] [-C bytes] [-E file] [-F archive] [-H format]
     [-I archive] [pattern ...] [< archive]
cpio -p [-adLlmuv] destination-directory < name-list

Are -o/-i/-p each coming first to properly separate the three use cases
or doas that actually mean "-o must come first"?
