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).
