TCOPY(1)                             BSD                              TCOPY(1)



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 specified will print information about the sizes of records and
     tape files.  If a destination is specified, 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 produces the same screen
     output as merely printing the sizes.
