Unix Tip #4662- December 16, 2023
COPY A TREE WITH CPIO
Using standard UNIX tar to copy a
tree doesn't preserve the original
owner and group information for the
directories and files during the copy.
To do this, use find(1) piped to cpio(1)
this way:
% cd
% find . -depth -print | cpio -pudm
This will create a mirror image of the
tree in .
NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
