NAME
      volcopy (generic) - make literal copy of file system

SYNOPSIS
      volcopy [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] operands

DESCRIPTION
      volcopy makes a literal copy of the file system.

      current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of
      volcopy.  Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options.
      specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated list
      of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the
      FSType-specific module of the command.

      operands generally include the device and volume names and are file
      system specific. A detailed description of the operands can be found on
      the FSType-specific man pages of volcopy.

      The options are:

      -F    Specify the FSType on which to operate.  The FSType should either
            be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching
            the operands with an entry in the table.

      -V    Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the command.
            The command line is generated by using the options and arguments
            provided by the user and adding to them information derived from
            /etc/vfstab.  This option should be used to verify and validate the
            command line.

      -o    Specify FSType-specific options.

NOTE
      This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
