Gratis Online CPIO naar ZIP Converter

A file compression format that is created in a corresponding tape archiver. It’s still used in the Linux version 2.6 kernel and the 'pax' archive installer from Apple. The archive contains header information with data about access privileges, the owner and time of creation. It was created to store back-up data on tape drives and other tape devices. These days Oracle developers deliver much of their software in CPIO format.

A common format for compressing data. It’s used by a large number of applications for the exchange of data, back-ups and file compression. In ZIP archives they use various compression algorithms. The cryptographic algorithm is proprietary, so confidential data is better stored in an archive with a more complex protection system (RAR, 7z, etc.).
