MirrorCopy 2
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------
What ?
-----------------------------------------------------------
- A clone of MirrorCopy by Jan Hendrik Schulz.
Additionally it has a few more options, supports
soft links properly, is MorphOS native and supports
64bit file sizes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Requirements !
-----------------------------------------------------------
- MorphOS 2.x
-----------------------------------------------------------
Usage !
-----------------------------------------------------------
Example:
Create exact mirror of a directory:
MirrorCopy <source> <dest> ALL
The options:
F=FROM/A
. - Source directory
T=TO/A
- Destination directory
A=ALL/S
- With this option subdirectories will be part of
the operation.
V=VERBOSE/S
- Print out affected entries and the operation on them.
Q=QUIET/S
- Be quiet.
ND=NODEL/S
- Do not delete any entries from destination, even if
they do not exist in source.
DD=DELDIR/K
- Put deleted files in this directory instead of deleting them.
Deleted diectories will be moved with all sub files/dirs intact.
Note: DELDIR must be on same volume as destination.
OD=OLDDIR/K
- Put overwritten files in this directory instead of overwriting
them. Note: OLDDIR must be on same volume as destination.
FP=FILEPAT/K
- If used, only files matching this pattern will be copied
to destination. Does not affect what entries are deleted!
DP=DIRPAT/K
- If used, only directories matching this pattern will be
copied/scanned. Does not affect what entries are deleted!
BUF/N
- Use different buffer size for read/write of file data.
Default is 128kb.
DATE/K
- Use together with DELDIR/K and/or OLDDIR/K to automatically
create a subfolder in DELDIR/OLDDIR named after current date,
where files will be placed instead.
New options in version 2:
-------------------------
NS=NOSOFT/S
- With this option, soft links are never copied at all. They
will still be removed from destination if not existing in
source though.
Note: Original MirrorCopy does a few weird things here:
It treats soft links as directories, which has the effect
that instead of copy a link to destination it creates a
directory in destination, but much more dangerous though:
instead of deleting a link from destination it follows
the link and if it points to a directory it will delete
everything in it!.
NH=NOHARD/S
- Hard links are normally copied like a file of its own.
With this switch, hard links are never copied at all.
(and never deleted from destination either, but can be
overwritten by different types of entries.)
MNDD=MAKENODUMMYDIRS/S
- When using FILEPAT/K, a lot of dummy directories might
be created, that contains no actual files (but possibly
other dummy directories). Use this option to stop creation
of dummy directories.
SIM=SIMULATE/S
- With this option, nothing is actually changed in either
destination/deldir/olddir directories. Useful to just
inspect what changes would happen before doing them.
Should be used with VERBOSE/S option.
NC=NOCRE/S
- Do not create any new entries in destination.
(Updates/recreations/deletions of old entries may still happen).
NR=NOREC/S
- Do not recreate any files in destination.
(by recreating is ment one type of entry is overwritten
by another, like a file beeing overwritten by a directory).
NU=NOUPD/S
- Do not update any entries in the destination.
(Deletions/creations of new entries may still happen).
New options in 2.1:
-------------------
SRD=SKIPROOTDOTFILES/S
- This switch makes mirrorcopy ignore all files and dirs that begin
with a dot (.) AND are located in the root of either source
or destination directories. Normally used to disable mirroring
of .recycled dir for example.
CNT=CONTINUE/S
- This switch tells mirrorcopy to continue on errors.
Note that only errors while modifying the destination
directory are affected. Errors while scanning source
or destination will still exit mirrorcopy.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Other
--------------------------------------------------------------
Auto wrapping logfiles as supported by IceFS (and PFS i assume)
are copied like normal files for now. Use SRD/S option to skip
mirroring these files.

2012.06.02 - 2.2
Copying of write protected files had problems, fixed.
2012.05.03 - 2.1
Added SRD/S and CNT/S options.
Copying of individual file can be aborted with Ctrl-C now.
Problems with long paths on commandline fixed.
Read protected files in source directory no longer aborts mirrorcopy.
BUF/N option was interpreted as bytes when should be in kilobytes, fixed.
