Synopsis
mcopy [options
]sourcefile
target
Copy files between Unix and MS-DOS format partitions. See cp and mtools for more information.
Options
The mcopy option flags differ from the flags passed to the Unix cp command. The flags are:
- -t
Convert Unix line breaks to MS-DOS line breaks and vice versa when copying text files.
- -b
Operate in batch mode; use for large copies of data.
- -s
Copy recursively.
- -P
Preserve attributes of copied files.
- -Q
If one copy fails, stop copying the rest. Useful if you think you may run out of disk space.
- -a
Assume that all incoming files are ASCII and convert carriage return/line feed to plain line feed.
- -T
Convert line breaks as with -a, but also convert PC-8 characters to ISO-8859-1 characters. Replace untranslatable characters with # or . for Unix and DOS respectively.
- -n
Do not ask for confirmation when overwriting Unix files. Use -o to turn off confirmation for overwriting DOS files.
- -m
Preserve file modification time.
- -v
Display the names of files as they are copied.
- -D clash-option
Specify the action to take if the specified directory name already exists. See mmd for the possible clash options.
