NAME

tcopy − copy a mag tape

SYNOPSIS

tcopy src [ dest ]

DESCRIPTION

Tcopy copies magnetic tapes.  It makes only one assumption about the magnetic tape—that there are two tape marks at the end the tape. 

If you specify a source tape src without a destination tape dest, tcopy prints information about the sizes of records and tape files.  If you specify both a source tape and a destination tape, tcopy copies the source tape to the destination tape.  The blocking on the destination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape. 

When copying a tape tcopy prints the same output it does when it prints record and tape file sizes.
