packkit/cpio

CPIO “newc” (SVR4) archive encoder and decoder.

The newc format uses fixed 110-byte ASCII hex headers and pads names and bodies to a 4-byte alignment. This module implements regular files, directories, and symbolic links. Hard links are rejected because newc represents them through shared inode numbers rather than a distinct typeflag.
