CAB

CABIN

CAB, short for Cabinet, is the Microsoft package used for installers, drivers and Windows system components. A cabinet can carry a digital signature and can span several volumes. Most people meet one while taking an old installer apart, and converting it puts the contents into a form their usual tools understand.

CPIO

CPIOOUT

CPIO stores a stream of files together with their metadata, and it is still standard where Linux boots from an initramfs image or where an RPM package carries its payload. Desktop software rarely opens it directly. Convert a CPIO archive when you need to see what a boot image or a package actually contains.
