Commodore PC - Xcopy

n
Xcopy
Purpose:
Copies files and directories, including lower level directories,
if they exist.
Syntax:
xcopy [drive:][path]filename[drive:] [path]\filename] [/a]
[/didate] [/e] [/m] [/p] [/s] [/v] [/w]
Comments:
The first drive., path, and filename parameters specify the source
file or directory that you want to copy. The second drive:, path,
and filename parameters specify the target. You must include at
least one of the source parameters. If you omit the target parame
ters, xcopy assumes you want to copy the files to the default
directory.
If you do not specify the path option, xcopy uses the default
directory with the default filename, *.*.
The /a switch copies source files that have their archive bit set.
The switch does not modify the archive bit of the source file. See
the attrib command for information on how to set the archive
attribute.
The /d switch copies source files that you modified on or after the
date specified by date. Note that the date format may vary
depending on the country code that you are using. See the date
command for more information.
The /e switch copies any subdirectories, even if they are empty.
You must use this switch with the /s switch.
The /m switch is similar to the /a switch in that it copies archived
files only; however, it turns off the archive bit in the source file.
See the attrib command for information on how to set the archive
attribute.
The /p switch prompts you with "(Y/N?)" to let you confirm
whether you want to create each target file.
The /s switch copies directories and lower level subdirectories,
unless they are empty. If you omit this switch, xcopy works
within a single directory.
The /v switch causes xcopy to verify each file as it is written to
the target to make sure that the target files are identical to the
source files.
