45: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.7 aaron 46: .Nm
47: is designed to copy magnetic tapes.
48: The only assumption made
1.1 deraadt 49: about the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
1.7 aaron 50: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 51: with only a source tape
1.3 millert 52: .Pf ( Ar /dev/rst0
1.1 deraadt 53: by default) specified will print
1.7 aaron 54: information about the sizes of records and tape files.
55: If a destination
56: is specified a copy will be made of the source tape.
57: The blocking on the
58: destination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.
59: Copying a tape will yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.
