DAR_CP(1)DAR_CP(1)NAMEdar_cp - 'cp' clone that does not stop at the first I/O error met
SYNOPSISdar_cp <source file> <destination file>
dar_cp-h
dar_cp-V
DESCRIPTIONdar_cp is similar to the standard 'cp' command, except it does not stop
copying when an I/O error is met. Instead, it skips a bit further and
continues to copy the rest of the file, as much as possible, filling
the gaps by zeroed bytes.
dar_cp only accepts full filename (not directory) as argument. The rea‐
son of its existence in dar package is that you need it if you use
Parchive with dar and have a corruption on a CD-R or any other read-
only medium. You need to copy the corrupted slice on a read-write
filesystem, for Parchive be able to repair it using slice associated
redundancy files.
OPTIONS-h Displays help usage.
-V Displays version information.
EXIT CODESdar_cp exists with the following codes:
0 upon normal execution (be some corrupted parted skipped or
not)
1 syntax error on command-line
2 could not open source or destination files
3 any other system error met during the copy
5 when some data could not be copied due to I/O error
SIGNALS
Any signal sent to dar_cp will abort the program immediately, there is
no way to have a proper termination before the end of the process
