25 gcp is a file copier, loosely inspired from cp, but with high level functionnalities like:
7eb698246bec README: first draft

parents:
diff changeset
26 - progression indicator
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>
parents:

27 - gcp continue coping even when there is an issue: he just skip the file with problem, and go on
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>
parents:
diff changeset
28 - journalization: gcp write what he is doing, this allow to now which files where effectively copied
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>
parents:

29 - fixing names to be compatible with the target filesystem (e.g. removing incompatible chars like "?" or "*" on vfat)
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>

30 - if you launch a copy when an other is already running, the files are added to the first queue, this avoir you hard drive to move its head all the time
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>
parents:

31 - files saving: you can keep track of files you have copied, and re-copy them later (useful when, for example, you always copy some free music to all your friends).

32 - gcp will be approximately option-compatible with cp (approximately because the behaviour is not exactly the same, see below)

37 ** How to use it ? **
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>
parents:
diff changeset
38 Pretty much like cp (see gcp --help).
7eb698246bec README: first draft
Goffi <goffi@goffi.org>
parents:
diff changeset
39 Please note that the behaviour is not exactly the same as cp, even if gcp want to be option-compatible. Mainly, the destination filenames can be changed (by default, can be deactivated).
