NAME
tcopy - Copies magnetic tapes SYNOPSIS
tcopy [-cv] [-s max-blocksize] [source] [destination] OPTIONS
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
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
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 SEE ALSO

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination] DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des- tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro- duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape. The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example, example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b ATTRIBUTES
