cpio -icdB < [name_of_cpio_archive]

If you want a verbose listing of each file as it is extracted include the v flag. If you get a block error omit the B flag.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Thank you.

I used

cpio -icvdumB "usr2/symix/users/wfpsys/tpsc/*.*" < /dev/rst5

above command restored all the files to tpsc directory from the tape drive.
