NAME

tcopy − copy a mag tape

SYNOPSIS

tcopy src [ dest ]

DESCRIPTION

Tcopy is designed to copy magnetic tapes.  The only assumption made about the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.  Tcopy with only a source tape specified will print information about the sizes of records and tape files.  If a destination is specified, then, a copy will be made of the source tape.  The blocking on the destination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.  Copying a tape will yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.
