DESCRIPTION
       The xrdcp utility copies	one or more files from one location to an-
       other. The data source and destination may be a local or	remote file or
       directory.  Additionally, the data source may also reside on multiple
       servers.

OPTIONS
       -C | --cksum type[:value|print|source]
	    obtains the	checksum of type (i.e. adler32,	crc32, md5 or zcrc32)
	    from the source, computes the checksum at the destination, and
	    verifies that they are the same. If	auto is	chosen as the checksum
	    type, xrdcp	will try to automatically infer	the right checksum
	    type based on source/destination configuration, source file	type
	    (metalink, ZIP), and available checksum plug-ins. If a value is
	    specified, it is used as the source	checksum.  When	print is spec-
	    ified, the checksum	at the destination is printed but is not veri-
	    fied.

       -d | --debug lvl
	    debug level: 1 (low), 2 (medium), 3	(high)

       -F | --coerce
	    ignores locking semantics on the destination file. This option may
	    lead to file corruption if not properly used.

       -f | --force
	    re-creates a file if it is already present.

       -h | --help
	    displays usage information.

       -H | --license
	    displays license terms and conditions.

       -N | --nopbar
	    does not display the progress bar.

       -P | --posc
	    requests POSC (persist-on-successful-close)	processing to create a
	    new	file. Files are	automatically deleted should they not be suc-
	    cessfully closed.

       -D | --proxy proxyaddr:proxyport
	    [NOT YET IMPLEMENTED]

	    use	proxyaddr:proxyport as a SOCKS4	proxy. Only numerical ad-
	    dresses are	supported.

       -r | --recursive
	    recursively	copy all files starting	at the given source directory.

       --retry
	    retry failed copy-jobs.

       --server
	    runs as if in a server environment.	Used only for server-side
	    third party	copy support.

       -s | --silent
	    neither produces summary information nor displays the progress
	    bar.

       -y | --sources num
	    uses up to num sources to copy the file.

       -S | --streams num
	    use	num parallel data streams to do	the transfer (the main stream
	    is in this case not	used to	carry out the transfer).  The maximum
	    value is 15. The default is	0 (i.e., use only the control stream).

       --tpc [delegate]	first|only
	    copies the file from remote	server to remote server	using third-
	    party-copy protocol	(i.e., data flows from server to server). The
	    source and destination servers must	support	third party copies.
	    Additional security	restrictions may apply and may cause the copy
	    to fail if they cannot be satisfied.  Argument 'first' tries tpc
	    and	if it fails, does a normal copy; while 'only' fails the	copy
	    unless tpc succeeds. When 'delegate' is specified, the copy	dele-
	    gates the command issuer's credentials to the target server	which
	    uses those credentials to authenticate with	the source server.
	    Delegation is ignored if the target	server is not configured to
	    use	delegated credentials. Currently, only gsi credentials can be
	    delegated.

       -v | --verbose
	    displays summary output.

       -V | -version
	    displays version information and immediately exits.

       -z | --zip file
	    copy given file from a ZIP archive (same as	xrdcl.unzip opaque
	    info).

       -X | --xrate rate
	    limits the copy speed to the specified rate. The rate may be qual-
	    ified with the letter k, m,	or g to	indicate kilo, mega, or	giga
	    bytes, respectively. The option only applies when the source or
	    destination	is local.

       -X | --xrate-threshold rate
	    If the transfer rate drops below given threshold force the client
	    to use different source or if no more sources are available	fail
	    the	transfer.

       -Z | --dynamic-src
	    file size may change during	the copy

       -I | --infiles fn
	    specifies the file that contains a list of input files

       --parallel n
	    number of copy jobs	to be run simultaneously

       --allow-http
	    allow HTTP as source or destination	protocol. Requires the Xrd-
	    ClHttp client plugin

       --xattr
	    preserve extended attributes

       --notlsok
	    If server is too old to support TLS	encryption fallback to unen-
	    crypted communication.

       --tlsnodata
	    In case of roots/xroots protocol, encrypt only the control stream
	    and	leave the data streams unencrypted.

       --tlsmetalink
	    Treat all URLs in metalink as roots/xroots.

       --zip-mtln-cksum
	    Use	the checksum available in a metalink file even if a file is
	    being extracted from a ZIP archive.

       --rm-bad-cksum
	    Remove the target file if checksum verification failed (enables
	    also POSC semantics).

       --continue
	    Continue copying a file from the point where the previous copy was
	    interrupted.

LEGACY OPTIONS
       Legacy options are provided for backward	compatibility. These are now
       deprecated and should be	avoided.

       -np
	    equivalent to "--nopbar".

       -ODcgi

       -x
	    equivalent to "--sources 12".

OPERANDS
       source
	    a dash (i.e. -) indicating stanard in, a local file, a local di-
	    rectory name suffixed by /,	or an xrootd URL in the	form of
			 xroot://[user@]host[:port]/absolutepath
	    The	absolutepath can be a directory.

       destination
	    a dash (i.e. -) indicating stanard out, a local file, a local di-
	    rectory name suffixed by /,	or an xrootd URL in the	form
			 xroot://[user@]host[:port]/absolutepath
	    The	absolutepath can be a directory.

ENVIRONMENT
       The following environment variables are supported. They apply to	xrdfs
       and any other application using the libXrdCl library, unless specified
       otherwise. The text in the brackets is a	name of	the corresponding
       xrdcp commandline parameter.

       XRD_LOGLEVEL
	    Determines the amount of diagnostics that should be	printed. Valid
	    values are:	Dump, Debug, Info, Warning, and	Error.

       XRD_LOGFILE
	    If set, the	diagnostics will be printed to the specified file in-
	    stead of stderr.

       XRD_LOGMASK
	    Determines which diagnostics topics	should be printed at all lev-
	    els. It's a	"|" separated list of topics. The first	element	may be
	    "All" in which case	all the	topics are enabled and the subsequent
	    elements may turn them off,	or "None" in which case	all the	topics
	    are	disabled and the subsequent flags may turn them	on. If the
	    topic name is prefixed with	"^", then it means that	the topic
	    should be disabled.	If the topic name is not prefixed, then	it
	    means that the topic should	be enabled.

	    The	log mask may as	well be	handled	for each diagnostic level sep-
	    arately by setting one or more of the following variables:
	    XRD_LOGMASK_ERROR, XRD_LOGMASK_WARNING, XRD_LOGMASK_INFO, XRD_LOG-
	    MASK_DEBUG,	and XRD_LOGMASK_DUMP. The default for each level is
	    "All", except for the Dump level, where the	default	is
	    "All|^PollerMsg". This means that, at the Dump level, all the top-
	    ics	but "PollerMsg"	are enabled.

	    Available topics: AppMsg, UtilityMsg, FileMsg, PollerMsg, PostMas-
	    terMsg, XRootDTransportMsg,	TaskMgrMsg, XRootDMsg, FileSystemMsg,
	    AsyncSockMsg, TlsMsg

       XRD_TLSDBGLVL
	    Determine the debug	level for the TLS component. Valid values are:

	    Determines if read recovery	should be enabled or disabled (enabled
	    by default).

	    A time window for the connection establishment. A connection fail-
	    ure	is declared if the connection is not established within	the

	    out.
