DESCRIPTION
     The  xrdcp  utility  copies one or more files from one location to another.
     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 specified, the checksum at the
	  destination is printed but is not verified.

     -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 successfully
	  closed.

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

	  use proxyaddr:proxyport as a SOCKS4 proxy.  Only  numerical  addresses
	  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  secu-
	  rity	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 delegates the command issuer's cre-
	  dentials to the target server which uses those credentials to  authen-
	  ticate  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 qualified
	  with the letter k, m, or g to indicate kilo, mega, or giga bytes,  re-
	  spectively.  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  XrdClHttp
	  client plugin

     --xattr
	  preserve extended attributes

     --notlsok
	  If server is too old to support TLS encryption fallback to unencrypted
	  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 in-
	  terrupted.

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

     -DIpname numberval
	  set the internal parameter pname with the numeric value numberval.

     -DSpname stringval
	  set the internal parameter pname with the string value stringval.

	  equivalent to "--sources 12".

OPERANDS
     source
	  a dash (i.e. -) indicating stanard in, a local file, a local directory
	  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  direc-
	  tory 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  other-
     wise. The text in the brackets is a name of the corresponding xrdcp comman-
     dline 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  instead
	  of stderr.

     XRD_LOGMASK
	  Determines  which  diagnostics topics should be printed at all levels.
	  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 en-
	  abled.

	  The  log  mask  may as well be handled for each diagnostic level sepa-
	  rately by setting one or more of  the  following  variables:	XRD_LOG-
	  MASK_ERROR,  XRD_LOGMASK_WARNING, XRD_LOGMASK_INFO, XRD_LOGMASK_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 topics 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:

     XRD_PARALLELEVTLOOP
	  The  number  of  event  loops (i.e. the number of threads handling re-
	  quests). Default number is 10.

     XRD_READRECOVERY

	  will be encrypted, data streams will be left unencrypted.  By  default
	  set to 0.

     XRD_TLSMETALINK
