47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48.Nm Tcopy
49is designed to copy magnetic tapes.  The only assumption made
50about the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
51.Nm Tcopy
52with only a source tape
53.Pf ( Ar rmt0
54by default) specified will print
55information about the sizes of records and tape files.  If a destination
56is specified a copy will be made of the source tape.  The blocking on the
57destination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.  Copying
58a tape will yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.
