NAME
      tcopy - copy a magnetic tape
 


SYNOPSIS
      tcopy source  [ destination ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      tcopy copies the magnetic tape mounted  on  the  tape  drive
      specified  by the source argument.  The only assumption made
      about the contents of a tape is  that  there  are  two  tape
      marks at the end.
 
      When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape,
      and displays information about the sizes of records and tape
      files.  If a destination is specified, tcopy makes a  copies
      the  source  tape  onto  the destination tape, with blocking
      preserved. As it copies, tcopy produces the same  output  as
      it does when only scanning a tape.
