++# The exact error message and exit status depend on the host architecture,

++# So far the only case when cpio would exit with code 0 is when it skips
++# several bytes and encounters a valid record header. Perhaps it should
++# exit with code 2 (non-critical error), if at least one byte was skipped,
++# but that could hurt backward compatibility.
