10 T\bTc\bco\bop\bpy\by is designed to copy magnetic tapes. The only assumption made about
11 the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. T\bTc\bco\bop\bpy\by with only a
12 source tape (_\br_\bm_\bt_\b0 by default) specified will print information about the
13 sizes of records and tape files. If a destination is specified a copy
14 will be made of the source tape. The blocking on the destination tape
15 will be identical to that used on the source tape. Copying a tape will
16 yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.
