NAME
  tcopy - Copies magnetic tapes

SYNOPSIS
  tcopy [-cv] [-s max-blocksize] [source] [destination]

OPTIONS
  -c  Verifies whether the source and the destination tapes are identical
      after copying the source tape into the destination tape.

  -v  Verifies whether the source and the destination tapes are identical.

  -s max-blocksize
      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
   1.  To copy /dev/tape/tape0_d0 into /dev/tape/tape1_d0, enter:
	    tcopy /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /dev/tape/tape1_d0

   2.  To obtain information about /dev/tape/tape1_d0, enter:
	    tcopy /dev/tape/tape1_d0
