NAME

       pcp - Recursive, parallel copy of directory trees

SYNOPSIS

          pcp [options] <source> [<source> ...] <destination>

DESCRIPTION

       The pcp command is a is a wrapper that starts several sync processes to copy directory trees in parallel.
       This  is  allows  much  better  copying performance on file system that have relatively high latency when
       retrieving individual files like S3QL.

       Note: Using this program only improves performance when copying from an S3QL file system. When copying to
       an S3QL file system, using pcp is more likely to decrease performance.

OPTIONS

       The pcp command accepts the following options:

          --quiet
                 be really quiet

          --debug
                 activate debugging output

          --version
                 just print program version and exit

          -a     Pass -aHAX option to rsync.

          --processes <no>
                 Number of rsync processes to use (default: 10).

EXIT STATUS

       pcp returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error occured.
