.sh NAME
NKcopy - copy program
.sh SYNOPSIS
 nkcopy
.sh DESCRIPTION
NKcopy copies information from a given input seid to a given output
seid.  It is used primarily to copy from tape to a file; however it can
be used to copy between any two objects.  This program is provided for
development purposes only.
.s3
NKcopy excepts a single or multi-file tape.  Each file should be
written to tape in 512 byte blocks terminated by a tape mark (end of
file).  Under UNIX, the files can just be cat'ed or cp'ed to tape.  Once
the tape is made, it should be mounted on a TU16 tape drive.
.s3
NKcopy can be invoked by the secure server to copy the files on the
tape to the desired files.  When invoked NKcopy prompts for input and
output seids and block lengths.  Seids should be given in the following
format.
.s3
.ti 10n
	name space/ unique id 0/ uniq id 1
.s3
The following are well known namespaces:
.ti 10n
	r - root name space.
.ti 10n
	d - device name space. The seid of the TU16 
.ti 10n
	    drive is d/11/unit number (0, 1)
.ti 10n
	n - null name space.
.s3
If a null output seid is given, then a file is created and
the seid of the newly created file is printed.
.s3
NKcopy also has the ability to mount another file system and copy the
file to that file system.
.sh NOTES
NKcopy does not use the directory manager.  Presently it is necessary
to create a file with the directory manager test frame (udm_tf), then,
remembering the seid, copy the input file to the newly created file.
