Full Discussion: create file in HP
Operating Systems HP-UX create file in HP Post 302460461 by DGPickett on Wednesday 6th of October 2010 09:21:15 PM
Old 10-06-2010
Code:
(
cd dir1
find * -type d | cpio ( create_archive_options ) 
)| (
 cd dir2
 cpio ( unpack_archive_options )
 )

OR check the cpio pass option on the man page. Usually I feed cpio flat files and ask it to make dirs as necessary, but I know it can move empty dirs. "cp -rp" moves everything. In fact, I think scp, scp2, rcp, cp, *cp -rp all use cpio under the covers. The -p and cpio properly optioned preserves group, user, permissions, dates. I do not know the cpio options offhand because I immediately put them in scripts and forget them, and do not have UNIX here. Wait, I have cygwin; the first script takes in file names and makes a bzip2 compressed archive, and the second does somewhat the reverse:

Code:
$ pg ../*/mysrc_sol/b*cpio|cat
::::::::::::::
../DavidGPickett/mysrc_sol/bcpio
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/ksh

cpio -oaH crc $1 |bzip2 $2

::::::::::::::
../DavidGPickett/mysrc_sol/buncpio
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/ksh

bunzip2 <$2 |cpio -idmH crc $1
$

rpm2cpio

rpm2cpio(1)                                                        User Commands                                                       rpm2cpio(1)

NAME

       rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive

SYNOPSIS

       rpm2cpio [file.rpm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpm2cpio  utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
       ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard  out-
       put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Converting an rpm file

       example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
       CPIO archive found!
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root   11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
       31 blocks

       Example 2: Converting from standard input

       example% rpm2cpio < Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
       CPIO archive found!
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root   11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
       31 blocks
