Xin Description

Xin reads from standard input splitting the data up into sections. Xin reads from standard input splitting the data up into sections. Each section is piped into a command separately.The Xin package also includes an RPM spec file. RPM users can build a binary package ready to install by running:rpm -tb xin-1.0.0.tar.gzYou will find the binary rpm under /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i386 or /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386.I use Xin combined with a simple script to burn multiple volume cpio backups onto CD without needing any temporary space for disc images - I don't have any to spare. With Ncat backups back be extended across the LAN simply.However Xin isn't limited to performing backups - it is a general purpose utility which can be useful in many other situations.See xin(1) for more detailed information about the command.Example:Backup/restore across multiple CDs: Backup# find . -print0 -depth | cpio -o0v -Hcrc | xin -b 650M -e stdin2cd Restore# cpio -idumv -F /dev/cdrom
