server_archive

The server Commands
<ls -l listing> == <link name>
For pathnames representing a symbolic link, the output has the
format:
<ls -l listing> => <link name>
Where <ls -l listing> is the output format specified by the ls 1 utility
when used with the -l option. Otherwise, for all the other operational
modes (read, write, and copy), pathnames are written and flushed to
standard error without a trailing <newline> as soon as processing
begins on that file or archive member. The trailing <newline> is not
buffered, and is written only after the file has been read or written.
-x format
Specifies the output archive format, with the default format being
ustar. server_archive currently supports the following formats:
cpio
The extended cpio interchange format specified in the -p1003.2
standard. The default blocksize for this format is 5120 bytes.
Inode and device information about a file (used for detecting file
hard links by this format) which may be truncated by this format
is detected by server_archive and is repaired.
Note: To be readable by server_archive, the archive must be built on
another machine with the option -c (write header information in ASCII).
bcpio
The old binary cpio format. The default blocksize for this format is
5120 bytes.
Note: This format is not very portable and should not be used when
other formats are available.
Inode and device information about a file (used for detecting file
hard links by this format) which may be truncated by this format
is detected by server_archive and is repaired.
sv4cpio
The System V release 4 cpio. The default blocksize for this format
is 5120 bytes. Inode and device information about a file (used for
detecting file hard links by this format) which may be truncated
by this format is detected by server_archive and is repaired.
