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.

     The following operands are	supported:

	filename

	filename1

	filename2

ttcp(1)			 USER COMMANDS			  ttcp(1)

	      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
     Not used.

INPUT FILES
     The input files specified as operands can be of any file
     type.

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.
