I need to know what the following command does. I looked all over and nothing. I couldn't find what the switch find / - does
If some one can help, thanks in advanced.
find / -print | cpio -o > /dev/rmt/0m
What I know: if it has a .print means that archive all files starting from current dir to tape

"find /" means to start from the top root directory.
"-print" means print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a newline.
"cpio -o" means to create the archive and send the output to standard out.
"> /dev/rmt/0m" means to send the final output to the device /dev/rmt/0m.
"/dev/rmt/0m" looks like a tape device to me.
