Re: rebuilding an instance from a cpio file?

Don,
 cpio -it < filename
will list the contents of a valid cpio file. Ron

I have a huge cpio file that a sys admin created when it was decided to

remove an instance (8i) from a test server. I don't know for certain what
to do with this file, but I'd like to get that instance back up and running
long enough to do an export of the db.

Can somebody help with the syntax to list out the contents of the cpio file?

I have read the man pages, but I can't figure out the syntax to just list
the cpio contents.

Thx, in advance, for you help.
