NAME

tcopy - copy and/or verify mag tapes  

SYNOPSIS

[-cvx ] [-s maxblk ] [src [dest ] ]  

DESCRIPTION

is designed to copy magnetic tapes. The only assumption made about the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. with only a source tape ( /dev/rst0 by default) specified will print information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a destination is specified a copy will be made of the source tape. The blocking on the destination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape. Copying a tape will yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.

Options:

-c
Copy src to dest and then verify that the two tapes are identical.
-s maxblk
Specify a maximum block size, maxblk
-v
Given the two tapes, and dest verify that they are identical.
-x
Output all informational messages to the standard error. This option is useful when dest is /dev/stdout
