dtfile_copy(1)
CDE
NAME
  dtfile_copy - the CDE File Manager copy utility

SYNOPSIS
  dtfile_copy [options ...] source_folder target_folder

OPTIONS
  The following options are available from the command line:

  -dontDoIt
      Write a description of the actions that would be performed to a dialog
      window, but do not modify any objects.

  -keepNew
      If an object exists in the source and target folders, do not replace
      the target object if it is newer than the source object.

  -keepOld
      If an object exists in the source and target folders, rename the
      existing target object by appending .old to the name before copying the
      source.

  -dontDelete
      If an object exists in the target folder but not the source, do not
      delete the target object.

  -dontAdd
      If an object exists in the source folder but not the target, do not
      copy the source file.

  -dontReplace
      If an object exists in the source and target folders, do not replace
      the target object.

  -dontRecur
      Process only the files in the source folder, do not process any
      subfolders.

  -keepLinks
      If the target object is a symbolic link to the source object, retain
      the link instead of replacing the link by a copy of the source object.

  -keepCopies
      If a source object is a symbolic link and the target object is a a copy
      of the object that the source link points at (has the same size and
      timestamp), retain the target object instead of replacing it by a
      symbolic link.

  -forceCopies
      If an object exists in the source and target folders, copy the source
      object even if the timestamps and sizes are equal.

  -linkFolders
      If a folder exists in the source but not the target, create a symbolic
      link in the target pointing to the source instead of copying the source
      folder.

  -linkFiles
      If a file exists in the source but not the target, create a symbolic
      link in the target pointing to the source instead of copying the source
      file.

  -copyFolders
      If the source is a symbolic link to a folder, make a copy of the folder
      that the source link points at, instead of just copying the link.

  -copyFiles
      If the source is a symbolic link to a file, makes a copy of the file
      that the source link points at, instead of just copying the link.

  -copyTop
      If the target folder does not exist, create one.

  -move
      Following a successful copy operation, remove the source folder.

  -confirmReplace
      If an object exists in the source and target directories, display a
      dialog giving a choice of actions before proceeding.

  -confirmErrors
      If an error occurs processing an object, display a dialog describing
      the error before proceeding.

  -popDown
      Following a successful copy or move operation, automatically remove the
      dtfile_copy dialog after the interval specified by the delay option.

  -delay
      The time, in microseconds, that the dtfile_copy dialog is displayed
      after a successful copy operation is completed.

  -slow
      Pause for a preset time interval between each file operation.

DESCRIPTION
  The CDE File Manager copy utility is used to copy folders and their
  contents recursively, including subfolders. The utility's default action is
  to create a duplicate of the source_folder in the target_folder's location.
  Thus, objects that exist in the target, but not in the source, are deleted.
  Objects that exist in the source, but not in the target, are copied and
  objects that exist both in the target and the source are replaced if they
  are different. The utility compares both timestamp and size of two objects
  to determine if they are identical.

  The copy utility is invoked by the File Manager whenever a user requests a
  folder be moved or copied. Its use is thus transparent to the user.
  However, it can also be explicitly invoked from a shell window. The utility
  has many options that can be used to modify its default behavior.

      object even if the timestamps and sizes are equal.

      that the source link points at, instead of just copying the link.

  Dtfile*move

EXAMPLES
       dtfile /u/aUser/FolderA /u/aUser/FolderA.backup

  /u/aUser/FolderA. The name of each object processed is written to a dialog
  window with an indication of the operation performed.
