SYNOPSIS

       e2cp [options] files... dest

DESCRIPTION

       The  e2cp  command  copies files to/from an e2fs filesystem from/to the
       machine’s filesystem.

OPTIONS

       A single ‘-’ (dash) can be used instead of  a  file  name  to  indicate
       standard input/output.

       -0     Input lines terminated by a null character.

       -a     Absolute  directory  names  - create directories instead of just
              copying into the destination. Only valid  for  copying  into  an
              ext2fs filesystem.

       -d dest_dir
              Destination  of  files  to  be  copied.  May  be  in  the ext2fs
              filesystem or the host filesystem.

       -G gid Set the default group to gid.

       -O uid Set the default file owner to uid.

       -p     Preserve host file attributes (permissions,  times,  etc.)  when
              copying files.

       -P mode
              Set the file permissions (ie 755, 666).

       -s src_dir
              The source of the files to be copied.

       -v     Be verbose.
