Regarding
`-v'
`--verbose'
List the files processed, or with `-t', give an `ls -l' style
table of contents listing. In a verbose table of contents of a
ustar archive, user and group names in the archive that do not
exist on the local system are replaced by the names that
correspond locally to the numeric UID and GID stored in the
archive.
However, verbose has another effect,
$ <f cpio -t 980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
103896 blocks
$ <f cpio -vt 980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
-rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 2964 Jul 22 22:37
980731/QGIS/\265n\255\262\274\36602-09.shx
103896 blocks
As you see, it escapes the filenames.
And there is no documentation on how to turn off this effect.
Nor how to turn it on for just plain -t.
At least document (there at -v on the man page) that there is this
effect -- and that there is no way to turn it on or off.
