ttcp(1)
CDE


NAME
  ttcp - copy files and inform the ToolTalk service

SYNOPSIS
  ttcp [-pL] filename1 filename2

  ttcp -r [-pL] directory1 directory2

  ttcp [-prL] filename ...  directory

  ttcp -h | -v

DESCRIPTION
  The ttcp utility invokes the cp(1) utility to copy files and directories,
  and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the ToolTalk objects
  associated with those files and directories can also be copied.

OPTIONS
  The following options are available:

  -h	Write a help message for invoking ttcp and then exit.

  -L	Copy the ToolTalk objects of the files, but do not invoke cp(1) to
	copy the actual files.

  -p	Preserve.  Invoke cp(1) with the -p option, which duplicates not only
	the contents of the original files or directories, but also the
	modification time and permission modes.	 The modification times of
	ToolTalk objects are preserved only if the invoking process has
	appropriate privileges.	 (Super-user permissions are required.)

  -r	Recursively copy the ToolTalk objects of any directories named, along
	with their files (including any subdirectories and their files), and
	pass the -r option to cp(1).

  -v	Write the version number of ttcp and then exit.

  The -f, -i or -R options to cp(1) are not supported.

OPERANDS
  The following operands are supported:

  filename

  filename1
	A pathname of a file to be copied.

  filename2
	A pathname of an existing or nonexisting file, used for the output
	when a single file is copied.

  directory

  directory2
	A pathname of a directory to contain the copied files.

  directory1
	A pathname of a file hierarchy to be copied with -r.

STDIN
  Not used.

INPUT FILES
  The input files specified as operands can be of any file type.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of ttcp:

  LANG		 Provide a default value for the internationalization
		 variables that are unset or null.  If LANG is unset or null,
		 the corresponding value from the implementation-specific
		 default locale will be used.  If any of the
		 internationalization variables contains an invalid setting,
		 the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been
		 defined.

  LC_ALL	 If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
		 all the other internationalization variables.

  LC_MESSAGES	 Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and
		 contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error
		 and informative messages written to standard output.

  NLSPATH	 Determine the location of message catalogues for the
		 processing of LC_MESSAGES.

RESOURCES
  None.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
  The ttcp utility takes the standard action for all signals.

STDOUT
  When the -h option is used, ttcp writes to standard output a help message
  in an unspecified format.

  When the -v option is used, ttcp writes to standard output a version number
  in an unspecified format.

STDERR
  Used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES
  The output files can be of any type.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
  None.



EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   All files and ToolTalk objects were copied successfully.

  >0  An error occurred or the invoked cp(1) command exited with a non-zero
      value.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
  Default.

FILES
  /mountpoint/TT_DB   The directory used as a database for the ToolTalk
		      objects of files in the file system mounted at
		      /mountpoint.

APPLICATION USAGE
  None.
