NAME
doscp - copy to or from DOS files
SYNOPSIS
doscp [-fvu] file1 file2
doscp [-fvu] file1 [file2 ...] directory
DESCRIPTION
doscp is the DOS counterpart of cp (see cp(1)). doscp copies a DOS file to a DOS or HP-UX file, an HP-
UX
file to an HP-UX or DOS file, or HP-UX or DOS files to an HP-UX or DOS directory. The last name in the
argument list is the destination file or directory.
A DOS file name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon (:) delimiter; see dosif(4) for DOS file
naming conventions.
Metacharacters *, ?, and [ ... ] can be used when specifying both HP-UX and DOS file names. These must
be quoted when specifying a DOS file name, because file name expansion must be performed by the DOS util-
ities, not by the shell. DOS utilities expand file names as described in regexp(5) under PATTERN MATCH-
ING NOTATION.
The file name
- (dash) is interpreted to mean standard input or standard output depending upon its posi-
tion in the argument list.
Options
doscp recognizes the following options:
-f Unconditionally write over an existing file. In the absence of this option,
doscp asks permis-
sion to overwrite an existing
HP-UX file.
-v Verbose mode. doscp prints the source name.
-u Disable argument case conversion. In the absence of this option, all DOS file names are con-
verted to upper case.
RETURN VALUE
doscp returns 0 if all files are copied successfully. Otherwise, it prints a message to standard error and
returns with a non-zero value.
EXAMPLES
Copy the files in the HP-UX directory abc to the DOS volume stored asHP-UX file
hard_disk:
doscp abc/* hard_disk:
Copy DOS file /backup/log through the HP-UX special file /dev/rfd9127 to HP-UX file logcopy
located in the current directory:
doscp /dev/rfd9127:/backup/log logcopy
Copy DOS file zulu on the volume stored as HP-UX file bb to standard output:
doscp bb:zulu -
Copy all files in directory /dameron with extension txt in the DOS volume /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
to
the
HP-UX directory abacus located in the current directory:
doscp ’/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0:/dameron/*.txt’ abacus
WARNINGS
doscp works more reliably if you use a raw device special file (/dev/rdsk/) than a block device special
file.
To use SCSI floppy disk devices, the sflop device driver must be configured into the kernel. (You can use
the ioscan command to verify the configuration.)
