ttcp -- copy files and inform the ToolTalk service
ttcp [-pL]
[filename1] [filename2]
ttcp [-r] [-pL] [directory1] [directory2]
ttcp [-prL] [filename] [.!.!.] [directory]
ttcp [-h] [-v]
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.
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.
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.
Not used.
The input
files specified as operands can be of any file type.
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.
None.
The ttcp
utility takes the standard action for all signals.
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.
Used only for diagnostic messages.
The output files can be of any type.
None.
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.
Default.
- /mountpoint/TT_DB
- The
directory used as a database for the ToolTalk objects of files in the file
system mounted at /mountpoint.
None.
None.
