Examples

   1.$ COPY TEST.DAT NEWTEST.DAT

     In this example, the COPY command copies the contents of the
     file TEST.DAT from the default disk and directory to a file
     named NEWTEST.DAT on the same disk and directory. If a file
     named NEWTEST.DAT exists, the COPY command creates a new
     version of the file.

   2.$ COPY ALPHA.TXT TMP
     $ COPY ALPHA.TXT .TMP

     In this example, the first COPY command copies the file
     ALPHA.TXT into a file named TMP.TXT. The COPY command uses the
     file type of the input file to complete the file specification
     for the output file. The second COPY command creates a file
     named ALPHA.TMP. The COPY command uses the file name of the
     input file to name the output file.

   3.$ COPY *.* PRTLND::*.*

     In this example, the COPY command copies all files within the
     user directory at the local node to the remote node PRTLND. The
     new files have the same names as the input file. You must have
     write (W) access to the default directory on remote node PRTLND
     for the command to work.

   4.$ COPY BOSTON::DISK2:TEST.DAT;5
     _To: DALLAS"SAM SECReturn"::DISK0:[MODEL.TEST]TEST.DAT/ALLOCATION=50

     In this example, the COPY command copies the file TEST.DAT;5
     on the device DISK2 at node BOSTON to a new file named TEST.DAT
     at remote node DALLAS. The /ALLOCATION qualifier initially
     allocates 50 blocks for the new file TEST.DAT at node DALLAS.
     The access control string SAM SECReturn is used to access the
     remote directory.

   5.$ COPY [SMITH]MONKEY.DIR [JONES]
     $ COPY [SMITH.MONKEY]*.* [JONES.MONKEY]*.*

     In this example, the COPY command creates the new empty
     directory [JONES.MONKEY] that is registered in the
     [JONES]MONKEY.DIR directory file. After the COPY command
     creates the new [JONES]MONKEY.DIR directory file, you can copy
     or create files in the [JONES.MONKEY] directory.

     The second COPY command in this example copies files from the
     [SMITH.MONKEY] directory to the [JONES.MONKEY] directory.

   6.$ COPY [SMITH]CATS.DIR [SMITH]DOGS.DIR

     In this example, the COPY command creates the new empty
     directory file, called [SMITH]DOGS.DIR. Use this copy command
     to create a directory file that has the same attributes as the
     [SMITH]CATS.DIR file. This command example has the same effect
     as entering the command:

       $ CREATE/DIRECTORY [SMITH.DOGS]

   7.$ COPY [SMITH]TIGER.DIR [SMITH.ANIMALS]
     $ COPY [SMITH.TIGER]*.* [SMITH.ANIMALS.TIGER]*.*
     $ DELETE [SMITH.TIGER]*.*;*
     $ SET SECURITY/PROTECTION=(WORLD:DELETE) TIGER.DIR
     $ DELETE TIGER.DIR;

     In this example, the COPY command creates the new empty
     directory file called [SMITH.ANIMALS]TIGER.DIR. The subsequent
     commands in this example then copy the files from the
     [SMITH.TIGER] directory to the [SMITH.ANIMALS.TIGER] directory,
     then delete the original TIGER.DIR directory file. Because
     TIGER.DIR is a directory file, you must specify a protection
     code of DELETE before you can delete the directory.
