Version: 87
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
When analysing the results of concatentated CPIO archives (added
in #820631) the displayed names appear as: "$offset.cpio", eg.
0.cpio and 6200.cpio, kinda "leaking" how diffoscope interacts
with binwalk, but moreover this can a little misleading or confusing.
See, for example:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12735#change-76243
I believe we should be a bit more detailed about what these internal
members are, at least mentioning the word "offset" somewhere.
Best wishes,
