 3.2 Copy-in mode
 ================
 
 In copy-in mode, cpio copies files out of an archive or lists the
 archive contents.  It reads the archive from the standard input.  Any
 non-option command line arguments are shell globbing patterns; only
 files in the archive whose names match one or more of those patterns are
 copied from the archive.  Unlike in the shell, an initial `.' in a
 filename does match a wildcard at the start of a pattern, and a `/' in a
 filename can match wildcards.  If no patterns are given, all files are
 extracted.   Options.
