DUPE(1)			    General Commands Manual		       DUPE(1)

NAME
       dupe -- duplicate a file	quickly

SYNOPSIS
       dupe original

DESCRIPTION
       This utility is always called by	portfix(1), but	sometimes it is	useful
       in its own right.

       dupe  takes  exactly one	argument, a path to a file.  It	will duplicate
       the [original] file to "<original>.orig"	unless there is	already	an ex-
       isting file with	this exact name.  In that case,	the target  file  name
       will  be	 "<original>.intermediate"  and	any existing file of that name
       will be unconditionally overwritten.

ERRORS
       dupe will abort if zero or more than  one  argument  is	given,	or  if
       [original] is not a path	to a valid regular file.

SEE ALSO
