COPY
The following command copies only those MAC files on DK created on or after
February 24, 1991:
.COPY/SINCE:24:FEB:91 *.MAC DU0:*.MAC
Files copied:
DK:A.MAC to DU0:A.MAC
DK:B.MAC to DU0:B.MAC
DK:C.MAC to DU0:C.MAC
/SLOWLY
Transfers files one block at a time. On some devices, a single-block transfer
increases the chances of an error-free transfer. Use this option if a previous copy
operation failed because of a read or write error.
/START[:value]
Used with the /DEVICE option to specify the starting block and, with /END:value,
to specify the last block of the disk you are copying. /START requires the DUP
utility.
The /START:value notation must follow the input or output file specification. The
value argument with both /START and /END represents a decimal block number.
You can use /START:value with the output device specification to specify the
starting block number for the write operation on the output volume. The
following command copies blocks 500 to 550 of DU0 to DU1, starting at block
100:
.COPY/DEVICE DU0:/START:500/END:550 DU1:/START:100
If you do not supply a value with /START, RT–11 assumes the first block on the
volume. If you do not specify a value with /END, RT–11 assumes the last block
on the volume. Note that the first block of a file or volume is block 0.
/SYSTEM
Copies system (SYS) files when you use wildcards in an input file type, or you
use the /EXCLUDE option. If you omit this option, the SYS files are excluded
from these operations and a message is displayed on the terminal to remind
you, unless the SYS file type is specified in the wildcard COPY operation. For
example, the following command copies all SYS files since the .SYS file type is
included in the wildcard operation:
COPY *.SYS DU1:*
/TOPS
Transfers files on DECsystem–10 DECtape to RT–11 format. This option requires
the FILEX utility.
/TOPS must follow the input file specification. Note that DECtape is the only
valid input device. You cannot perform this COPY operation while a foreground
job is running. Use /PACKED with /TOPS to convert from TOPS–10 7-bit ASCII
format to standard PDP–11 byte ASCII format.
