Option Function
A Copy only the files that have been modified since the
last copy. To back up only the files that have been
modified since the last back-up, use PIP with the
archive option, [A].
C Prompt for confirmation before performing each copy
operation. Use the [C] option when you want to copy
only some files of a particular filetype.
Dn Delete any characters past column n. This parameter
follows a source file that contains lines too long to
be handled by the destination device, for example,
an 80-character printer or narrow console. The number
n should be the maximum column width of the
destination device.
E Echo transfer at console. When this parameter follows
a source name, PIP displays the source data at
the console as the copy is taking place. The source
must contain character data.
F Filter form-feeds. When this parameter follows a
source name, PIP removes all form-feeds embedded
in the source data. To change form-feeds set for one
page length in the source file to another page length
in the destination file, use the F command to delete
the old form-feeds and a P command to simultaneously
add new form-feeds to the destination file.
Gn Get source from or go to user number n. When this
parameter follows a source name, PIP searches the
directory of user number n for the source file. When
it follows the destination name, PIP places the destination
file in the user number specified by n. The
number must be in the range 0 to 15.
