| 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. |

| 20 | -\b-c\bc Copy _\bs_\br_\bc to _\bd_\be_\bs_\bt and then verify that the two tapes are identi- |
| 21 | cal. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | -\b-s\bs _\bm_\ba_\bx_\bb_\bl_\bk |
| 24 | Specify a maximum block size, _\bm_\ba_\bx_\bb_\bl_\bk. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | -\b-v\bv Given the two tapes, and _\bd_\be_\bs_\bt verify that they are identical. |
