48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Nm
50is designed to copy magnetic tapes.
51The only assumption made
52about the tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
53.Nm
54with only a source tape
55.Pf ( Ar /dev/rst0
56by default) specified will print
57information about the sizes of records and tape files.
58If a destination
59is specified a copy will be made of the source tape.
60The blocking on the
61destination tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.
62Copying
63a tape will yield the same output as if just printing the sizes.
64.Pp
65Options:
66.Bl -tag -width s_maxblk
67.It Fl c
68Copy
69.Ar src
70to
71.Ar dest
72and then verify that the two tapes are identical.
73.It Fl s Ar maxblk
74Specify a maximum block size,
75.Ar maxblk .
76.It Fl v

79and
80.Ar dest
81verify that they are identical.
82.It Fl x
83Output all informational messages to the standard error.
