NAME
       tcopy - Copies magnetic tapes

SYNOPSIS
       tcopy [-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
