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.
