Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

GNU cpio is a program to manage archives of files. Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. An archive is a file that contains other files plus information about them, such as their pathname, owner, time stamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.
