NAME
       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS
       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION
       The  tcopy  utility  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 dis‐
       plays information about the sizes of records and tape files.  If a des‐
       tination	 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.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names.
       For example,

       example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
