Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/CONFIRM/FILE/LIBRARY/LOG

/CONFIRM

 Requests a user confirmation before copying.  The name  of  each
 file  is  displayed.   A reply of "N" prevents a file from being
 copied.  A reply of "Y" or a blank  reply  allows  the  copy  to
 proceed normally.

/FILE

 Indicates that an individual file is to be copied instead  of  a
 file  group.   You must use a file specification in place of the
 file group parameter  when  using  this  qualifier.   A  default
 device  and  directory  of  LIB$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]  is used with a
 default file type of .EXE when copying  a  file  to  the  system
 disk.  Wildcarding is allowed in a file specification, but lists
 of file specifications are not.

/LIBRARY

 Specifies that the copying operation  is  being  done  from  the
 system  disk  to the library disk.  By default, files are copied
 from the library disk to the system  disk.   This  qualifier  is
 used by the procedures that perform updates and upgrades.

/LOG

 Displays the name of each file copied.
