A file with the .CPIO extension is a file known as Unix CPIO archive. It belongs to the Encoded Files category. This format is associated with N/A.
The reliable way to open a .CPIO file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
This page lists 12 programs that open .CPIO files. A fully verified, hand-written description of this format is being prepared; until then, the details on this page are drawn directly from our database.
