Both formats, briefly
CPIOIN
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.
TAR.LZMAOUT
TAR.LZMA pairs a TAR bundle with the original LZMA compressor, the ancestor of the XZ format used today. Compression is strong, but current tools write .tar.xz instead, so this ending mostly turns up on older files. Convert one when you want something modern software opens without argument.
