- |octal at the beginning of a file looks like a cpio archive, kinda.
- |I looks like a pkgadd stream format for a pkg called "nuc".
-
- The leading line is a cpio(1) header. A datastream for pkg stuff
- begins with "# PaCkAgE DaTaStReAm" followed by the info section. (At
- least around here they do.) Hope this helps...
