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
