Description

This article is from the 3b1 computers FAQ, by John B. Bunch with numerous contributions by others.

4.5. What the heck is a +IN suffix on a file?

On the UNIX PC, "+IN" denotes an "Installable File". If you were to use the UA it would show that it's an Installable File. The Installable format is just a normal cpio archive. The file can be installed by hand by doing:

	# mkdir /tmp/install
	# mv FILE+IN /tmp
	# cd /tmp/install
	# cpio -icduvmB < ../FILE+IN
	[...]
	# ./Install

A list of other Suffixes appears in the file /usr/lib/ua/Suffixes.
