NAME

flcopy − copier for floppy

SYNTAX

/etc/flcopy [ −h ] [ −tn ]

DESCRIPTION

The flcopy command copies the console floppy disk (opened as ‘/dev/floppy’) to a file created in the current directory, named “floppy”, then prints the message “Change Floppy, hit return when done”. Then flcopy copies the local file back out to the floppy disk.

The −h option to flcopy causes it to open a file named “floppy” in the current directory and copy it to /dev/floppy. The −t option causes only the first n tracks to participate in a copy. 

RESTRICTIONS

Floppy errors are handled ungracefully. 

FILES

/dev/floppy or /dev/rrx?? 
floppy (in current directory)
