Interestingly, the man page (macos 11.3.1) for cpio contains the following:

STANDARDS
      There is no current POSIX standard for the cpio command; it 
appeared in ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996
      (``POSIX.1'') but was dropped from IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

      The cpio, ustar, and pax interchange file formats are defined by 
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'')
      for the pax command.
