Task 105: .CPIO File Format
Task 105: .CPIO File Format
The .CPIO file format is an archive format used for bundling files and directories in Unix-like systems, similar to TAR but with different header structures and padding rules. It supports multiple variants, but the specifications here focus on the widely used "newc" (new ASCII portable) format, which uses ASCII hexadecimal fields for portability and supports larger file systems. Archives consist of concatenated entries, each with a 110-byte header, followed by the filename (including null terminator), padding to a 4-byte boundary, file data, and further padding to a 4-byte boundary. The archive ends with a special "TRAILER!!!" entry.
- List of all the properties of this file format intrinsic to its file system:
- Filename
- Inode number
- File mode (permissions and type, as an octal value)
- User ID (UID)
- Group ID (GID)
- Number of hard links (nlink)
- Modification time (mtime, as a Unix timestamp)
- File size
- Device major number
- Device minor number
- Rdevice major number (for special files like devices)
- Rdevice minor number (for special files like devices)
- Checksum (0 in newc variant; a 32-bit unsigned sum of data bytes in crc variant)
- Two direct download links for files of format .CPIO:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libarchive/libarchive/master/test/test_read_format_cpio_bin.cpio
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libarchive/libarchive/master/test/test_read_format_cpio_svr4_gzip_rpm.cpio
- Ghost blog embedded html javascript that allows a user to drag n drop a file of format .CPIO and it will dump to screen all these properties:
Drag and drop a .cpio file here
- Python class that can open any file of format .CPIO and decode read and write and print to console all the properties from the above list:
