NAME
cpflop - Copies floppy disk
SYNOPSIS
cpflop [-ls] [-n numcopies]
FLAGS
-l Specifies that floppy is low density (720 blocks).
-n numcopies Specifies the number of copies (numcopies) of the source
floppy to make.
-s Suppresses prompting for floppy insertion. This flag is
not valid if both the source and destination are floppies.
The -s flag assumes that the amount of data involved can be
contained on one floppy.
DESCRIPTION
The cpflop command duplicates a floppy disk using a single floppy drive.
In the default operation mode, with no command line parameters or
input/output redirection, cpflop copies one floppy to another, prompting
for insertion of the source and destination floppies. If stdin is a
terminal or /dev/null, cpflop assumes that the source for the copy is a
floppy and prompts for the source disk to be inserted. The stream stdout
is investigated in the same way to determine the destination of the copy.
If the file is not a terminal or /dev/null, the file associated with stdin
and/or stdout is accessed instead of the floppy. No prompt is issued for
devices other than floppy.
EXAMPLES
1. To make a copy of a low density disk:
cpflop -l
FILES
/dev/rdsk/floppy
NOTES
The cpflop command does not support multiple-sequenced volumes. It
transfers a maximum of 2400 blocks (720 for low density) from the source
to the destination, repeating this action with the same source data if
multiple copies are requested.
