| Description |
Copies data from one device to another.
file.count specifies number of file segments to copy. Default is 1 file segment. For instance, a file in "t-dump" format is written on tape as 1 file segment. A file-save or account-save on tape is written as 2 file segments, plus 1 file segment for each account. Therefore, to copy up to the first account of a save, you would specify a file.count of 3; to copy the first two accounts, specify a file.count of 4; etc. |

If device 0 contains data in "save" format, this will copy the first account on tape. :t-copy 0 2 This will copy up to the 1st EOF mark (default file.count is 1).
