NAME
       pcp - Recursive, parallel copy of directory trees

SYNOPSIS
       pcp [options] <source> [<source> ...] <destination>

DESCRIPTION
       The  pcp command is a is a wrapper that starts several sync processes to copy directory trees in parallel. This is allows much better copy-
       ing performance on file system that have relatively high latency when retrieving individual files like S3QL.

       Note: Using this program only improves performance when copying from an S3QL file system. When copying to an S3QL file system, using pcp is
       more likely to decrease performance.

OPTIONS
       The pcp command accepts the following options:

	  --quiet
		 be really quiet

	  --debug
		 activate debugging output

	  --version
		 just print program version and exit

	  -a	 Pass -aHAX option to rsync.

	  --processes <no>
		 Number of rsync processes to use (default: 10).

EXIT STATUS
       pcp returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error occured.

SEE ALSO
       pcp is shipped as part of S3QL, http://code.google.com/p/s3ql/.
