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
dar_cp exists with the following codes:
0 upon normal execution (be some corrupted parted skipped or
not)
1 syntax error on command-line
2 could not open source or destination files
3 any other system error met during the copy
5 when some data could not be copied due to I/O error
SIGNALS
Any signal sent to dar_cp will abort the program immediately, there is
no way to have a proper termination before the end of the process
