I just learned that cpio has three modes: copy-out, copy-in and pass-through.
I was wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of cpio under copy-out and copy-in modes over tar. When is it better to use cpio and when to use tar?
Similar question for cpio under pass-through mode versus cp.
Thanks and regards!
