CPMCP(1) User commands CPMCP(1) NAME cpmcp - copy files from and to CP/M disks SYNOPSIS cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image [-u] user:file file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image [-u] user:file ... directory cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image [-u] file user:file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image [-u] file ... user: DESCRIPTION cpmcp copies one or more files to or from a CP/M disk. When copying multi- ple files, the last argument must be a drive or directory. The drive let- ter does not matter because the device is specified by the image, it is only used to specify which direction you want to copy. The user number is specified after the drive letter, if omitted user 0 is used. You can use * and ? in CP/M file names, which have the same meaning in sh(1) file name patterns. On CP/M, the slash is a legal file name character and on POSIX systems it is not, so on those when copying such files to the host, it is translated to a comma. Filenames with a comma have that translated back to a slash on CP/M. That is no restriction, because a comma is not a legal CP/M filename character, although CP/M 2.2 silently accepts it despite the manual saying otherwise. On other host OS there may be different file name translations. OPTIONS -f format Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format. -T libdsk-type[,libdsk-format] libdsk driver type, e.g. tele for Teledisk images or raw for raw im- ages (requires building cpmtools with support for libdsk). The op- tional libdsk-format argument also specifies one of libdsk's CP/M disk formats (not to be confused with the diskdef supplied to the -f option), similar to libdsk:format in diskdefs. -p Preserve time stamps when copying files from CP/M to UNIX (not im- plemented for copying the other way so far). -t Convert text files between CP/M and UNIX conventions. -u Show all CP/M file names in upper case. RETURN VALUE Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned. ERRORS Any errors are indicated by exit code 1.
