How do I find out what will be added the cpio initrd image generated by mkinitcpio given an entry in either:
MODULES=BINARIES=HOOKS=
For example, what files are included when adding BINARIES="btrfs"?

As the name suggests, this is a cpio archive. It has been gzipped. So
zcat file | cpio -vt
will give you the contents.

1I don't want the contents of the whole `initrd`, just the contents of a particular `MODULES=` entry. Where do they reside? – Tom Hale Jan 01 '17 at 04:14

@TomHale I believe it might differ a lot between distributions. – phk Jan 01 '17 at 17:50

Where is it on your distribution(s)? – Tom Hale Jan 02 '17 at 05:00
