- The first d: path filename specifies the source file.
-
- The + symbol will cause files to be joined together as they are
- copied. For example: COPY FILE1+FILE2 FILE3 will copy the contents
- of FILE1 and FILE2 into FILE3. Multiple files may be joined in one operation.
-
- The second d: path filename specifies the destination file.
-
- When /A (ascii) is used with the source filename, it will be copied up
- to the first end of file marker (Ctrl-Z). The rest of the file will
- not be copied.
- When /A is used following the destination file, an end of file marker
- will be added to the end of the file.
-
- When /B (binary) is used with the source filename, the entire file
- will be copied (including CTRL-Z). This is the default.
- When /B is used following the destination filename, no end of file
- marker will be added to the end of the file.
-
- /V verifies that the data is copied correctly.
-
- Wild Card characters are allowed within or in place of filenames.
- Wildcards in the destination will be replaced by the corresponding
- filename or part of filename from the source file list.
