XCOpy
source pathname [target pathname] [lA]
[lD:date][lE] [1M] [lP] [IS] [IV] [lW]
Copies either a file or a directory and (optionally) the directory's
subdirectories. Unlike DISKCOPY, XCOPY does not require that
the source and target disks have the same format. You can
XCOPY between different disk drive types or different media
types.
Parameters
source pathname is the name of the drive, directories, andlor file
you want to copy. If you omit the directory part of source path-
name, XCOPY copies the file from the current directory. If you
omit the filename part of source pathname, XCOPY uses the
wildcard *.*, and copies all files in the directory.
target pathname is the name of the drive, directories, or file to
which you are copying. If you omit the directory part of target
pathname, XCOPY copies to the current directory. The default
filename is
*.*
IA copies only source files that have their archive bit set. It does
not change the archive bit of the source file. (See ATTRIB for
information on how to set the archive bit.)
ID:date copies only those source files modified on or after date.
The date format varies, depending on the country code that you
are using.
IE copies all empty directories of the specified directory. You
must use IS if you use IE.
1M
copies only source files that have their archive bit set, and
turns off the archive bit in the source files. (See ATTRIB for
information on how to set the archive bit.)
IP prompts you to confirm that you want to copy each source file.
IS copies the specified directory and its subdirectories (as long as
the subdirectories are not empty). When used with IE, IS copies
the empty subdirectories, as well. If you omit IS, XCOPY works
within one directory.
