DISKCP(1x)            UNIX System V(Xenix Compatibility)             DISKCP(1x)


NAME
      diskcp  -  copy diskette images

SYNOPSIS
      diskcp [ -f ] [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -48ds9 ] [ -96ds9 ] [ -96ds15 ] [ -135ds9 ]
      [ -135ds18 ]

DESCRIPTION
      The diskcp command is used to make an image (exact copy) of a diskette.
      On machines with one floppy disk drive, an image of the source diskette
      is temporarily saved on the hard disk.  Then, after a "target" diskette
      is inserted in the drive, the image is written out.  Only one exchange of
      the source and target diskettes is required.

      On systems with two floppy drives of the same type, the source image can
      be copied directly to the target diskette with no swapping of diskettes
      required.

      The options are:

      -f    Format the target diskette before the image is copied.

      -d    The system has dual floppy drives, and both should used.

      -s    Use the checksum program sum(1) to compare the contents of the
            source and target diskettes; give an error if they don't match.

      -48ds9
            This is the setting for low density 48tpi 5.25 inch floppies (360
            KB).  It is the default setting.

      -96ds9
            This is the setting for high density 96tpi 5.25 inch floppies (720
            KB).

      -96ds15
            This is the setting for quad density 96tpi 5.25 inch floppies (1.2
            MB).

      -135ds9
            This is the setting for high density 135tpi 3.5 inch floppies (720
            KB).

      -135ds18
            This is the setting for quad density 135tpi 3.5 inch floppies (1.44
            MB).

NOTES
      If a write error is encountered while copying the source to the target
      diskette, diskcp tries to format the target diskette and try again.  This
      happens most often when an unformatted floppy is used and the -f option
      is not specified.
