This module provides support for accessing a CPIO archive as a file system from GRUB. This module is for the following newer variants of the CPIO archive supported by GNU CPIO (but GNU CPIO defaults to the "bin" format which is handled by the module cpio).

These are the variants supported by this module:

• "newc" - SVR4 portable format without CRC. GNU file utility will identify these as something like "ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)"
• ‘crc’ - SVR4 portable format with CRC. GNU file utility will identify these as something like "ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with CRC)"
