[Bug-cpio] Potential bug

[LEIBOLT, GREGORY (ATTSI)]

I was trying to extract a particular file using the
-no-absolute-filename option and could not get it to work.

I tried:
cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames "/usr/sbin/lsof" < backup.cpio 
cpio -id -no-absolute-filenames "/usr/sbin/lsof" < backup.cpio
cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames /usr/sbin/lsof < backup.cpio
cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames "lsof" < backup.cpio

nothing worked.

cpio -idv -no-absolute-filenames  < backup.cpio  DID WORK, but was not
what I wanted.


Unfortunately I could not find any examples of cpio using the
-no-absolute-filenames in google.

Thanks,
