NAME
ttcp - copy files and inform the ToolTalk service
SYNOPSIS
ttcp [-pL] filename1 filename2
ttcp -r [-pL] directory1 directory2
ttcp [-prL] filename ... directory
ttcp -h | -v
DESCRIPTION
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 direc-
tories can also be copied.
OPTIONS
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 direc-
tories 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.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
filename
filename1
A pathname of a file to be copied.

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.
STDIN

INPUT FILES

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of
ttcp:
LANG Provide a default value for the interna-
tionalization 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 internation-
alization 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, over-
ride the values of all the other interna-
tionalization variables.
LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to
affect the format and contents of diagnos-
tic messages written to standard error and
informative messages written to standard
output.
NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalo-
gues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.
RESOURCES
None.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
The ttcp utility takes the standard action for all signals.
