45b1bc45d1Slukem.Nm
46be8ae688Sgrantis designed to copy magnetic tapes.
47be8ae688SgrantThe only assumption made
48dab5e017Scgdabout the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
49b1bc45d1Slukem.Nm
50dab5e017Scgdwith only a source tape
51b65e7b7fSlukem.Pf ( Ar /dev/rst0
52dab5e017Scgdby default) specified will print
53be8ae688Sgrantinformation about the sizes of records and tape files.
54be8ae688SgrantIf a destination
55be8ae688Sgrantis specified a copy will be made of the source tape.
56be8ae688SgrantThe blocking on the
57be8ae688Sgrantdestination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.
58be8ae688SgrantCopying
59dab5e017Scgda tape will yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.
