NAME
tcopy —
copy and/or verify mag
tapes
SYNOPSIS
tcopy |
[-cvx]
[-s
maxblk]
[src
[dest]] |
DESCRIPTION
tcopy is designed to copy magnetic tapes. The only assumption
made about the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
tcopy 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, src 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.
