NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       tcopy - Copies magnetic tapes

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       tcopy [-cv] [-s max-blocksize] [source] [destination]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Verifies  whether the source and the destination tapes are
       identical after copying the source tape into the  destination
  tape.   Verifies whether the source and the destination
 tapes are identical.  Sets the maximum  allowed  tape
       block size.  The default is 128 Kbytes.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       If  a source and a destination tape are specified then the
       tcopy command copies the source tape into the  destination
       tape.

       If  only  a  source  tape  is  specified then tcopy prints
       information about the contents of the tape.  For each file
       in  the  tape,  tcopy prints the number of records of each
       block size.  Tape /dev/tape/tape0_d0 is the default.

       The tcopy command assumes that there are two tape marks at
       the  end  of  the source tape when copying or reading, and
       two tape marks at the end of both tapes when verifying.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To copy /dev/tape/tape0_d0 into /dev/tape/tape1_d0, enter:
       tcopy   /dev/tape/tape0_d0  /dev/tape/tape1_d0  To  obtain
       information   about   /dev/tape/tape1_d0,   enter:   tcopy
       /dev/tape/tape1_d0
