Name

dar_cp - disk archive copy

Synopsis

dar_cp <source file> <destination file>

dar_cp -h

dar_cp -V

Description

dar_cp is similar to the standard ’cp’ command, except it does not stop copying when an I/O error is met. Instead, it skips a bit further and continues to copy the rest of the file, as much as possible.

dar_cp only accepts full filename (not directory) as argument. The reason of its existence in dar package is that you need it if you use Parchive with dar and have a corruption on a CD-R or any other read-only medium. You need to copy the corrupted slice on a read-write filesystem, for Parchive be able to repair it using slice associated redundancy files.

Options

-h
Displays help usage.
-V
Displays version information.

Exit Codes

  1. upon normal execution (be some corrupted parted skipped or not)

  5. when some data could not

    be copied due to I/O error

Signals
