       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.

          Options
             -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.
