I don't know what that has to do with cpio, but if you're going go build 
kernels and change your boot configuration or do pretty much anything 
at such a low level of system adminsitration, then you're just going to 
have to deal with the command-line tools and their documentation.

I can tell you that when cpio writes 0 files in output mode (-o), the 
result is always exactly 512 bytes (one block, where block has the old 
half-kilobyte definition).
