SYNOPSIStcopy [-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
