dcopy(1M)                                                  dcopy(1M)


       NAME
             dcopy (generic) - copy file systems for optimal access time

       SYNOPSIS
             dcopy [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] inputfs outputfs

       DESCRIPTION
             dcopy copies file system inputfs to outputfs.  inputfs is the
             device file for the existing file system; outputfs is the
             device file to hold the reorganized result.  For the most
             effective optimization inputfs should be the raw device and
             outputfs should be the block device.  Both inputfs and
             outputfs should be unmounted file systems.

             current_options are options supported by the s5-specific
             module of dcopy.  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.

             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 inputfs (device)
                       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.

       FILES
