SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       dar_cp is similar to the standard 'cp' command, except it does not stop
17       copying when an I/O error is met. Instead, it skips a bit  further  and
18       continues to copy the rest of the file, as much as possible.

21       dar_cp only accepts full filename (not directory) as argument. The rea‐
22       son of its existence in dar package is that you  need  it  if  you  use
23       Parchive  with  dar  and have a corruption on a CD-R or any other read-
24       only medium. You need to copy  the  corrupted  slice  on  a  read-write
25       filesystem,  for  Parchive  be able to repair it using slice associated
26       redundancy files.
