Beg your pardon,
Some context I forgot to mention. Arch Linux doesn't have a pax package
(why isn't it in libarchive or util-linux BTW?), I got tired of using
either cpio or tar all the time, and specifying -H pax or --format pax
and because the flag isn't ignored in input mode, etc. That and tar is
entirely left-hand typed, versus pax being two-handed.
So I wrote a trivial wrapper around libarchive's bsdcpio to do most
things of pax(1p) that I care about, save -H/-L (What's the
difference?), -k, -s, and -u.
https://github.com/pilona/utils/blob/master/pax
I was about to implement -X, so I wanted to:
find -xdev -- <list of files and dirs specified in write mode…>
And then find bleeped back at me.
P.S. Of course, it has to be libarchive bsdcpio because I want the following
keys:
SCHILY.acl.access, SCHILY.acl.default
SCHILY.fflags
SCHILY.realsize
SCHILY.dev, SCHILY.ino, SCHILY.nlinks
LIBARCHIVE.creationtime
LIBARCHIVE.xattr.namespace.key
P.P.S. Default ACLs rock.
