DAR_CP(1)							     DAR_CP(1)

NAME
       dar_cp - 'cp' clone that does not stop at the first I/O error met

SYNOPSIS
       dar_cp <source file> <destination file>

       dar_cp -h

       dar_cp -V

DESCRIPTION
       dar_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 CODES
       dar_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
