<h3><a name="tcopy-usage">B.26.1 Usage</a></h3>
<p>The usage of <code>tcopy</code> is
<pre>
stilts <stilts-flags> tcopy ifmt=<in-format> ofmt=<out-format>
[in=]<table> [out=]<out-table>
</pre>
If you don't have the <code>stilts</code> script installed,
write "<code>java -jar stilts.jar</code>" instead of
"<code>stilts</code>" - see <a href="invoke.html">Section 3</a>.
The available <code><stilts-flags></code> are listed
in <a href="stilts-flags.html">Section 2.1</a>.
For programmatic invocation, the Task class for this
command is <code>uk.ac.starlink.ttools.task.TableCopy</code>.
</p>
<p>Parameter values are assigned on the command line
as explained in <a href="task-args.html">Section 2.3</a>.
They are as follows:
</p>
<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><code>ifmt = <in-format></code> <em>(String)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Specifies the format of the input table as specified by parameter <code>in</code>.
The known formats are listed in <a href="inFormats.html">Section 5.2.1</a>.
This flag can be used if you know what format your
table is in.
If it has the special value
<code>(auto)</code> (the default),
then an attempt will be
made to detect the format of the table automatically.
This cannot always be done correctly however, in which case
the program will exit with an error explaining which
formats were attempted.
<p>[Default: <code>(auto)</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>in = <table></code> <em>(<a href="http://www.starlink.ac.uk/stil/javadocs/uk/ac/starlink/table/StarTable.html">StarTable</a>)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>The location of the input table.
This may take one of the following forms:
<ul>
<li>A filename.</li>
<li>A URL.</li>
<li>The special value "<code>-</code>",
meaning standard input.
In this case the input format must be given explicitly
using the <code>ifmt</code>
parameter.
Note that not all formats can be streamed in this way.
</li>
<li>A system command line with
either a "<code><</code>" character at the start,
or a "<code>|</code>" character at the end
("<code><syscmd</code>" or
"<code>syscmd|</code>").
This executes the given pipeline and reads from its
standard output.
This will probably only work on unix-like systems.
</li>
</ul>
In any case, compressed data in one of the supported compression
formats (gzip, Unix compress or bzip2) will be decompressed
transparently.
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>ofmt = <out-format></code> <em>(String)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Specifies the format in which the output table will be written
(one of the ones in <a href="outFormats.html">Section 5.2.2</a> - matching is
case-insensitive and you can use just the first few letters).
If it has the special value
"<code>(auto)</code>"
(the default),
then the output filename will be
examined to try to guess what sort of file is required
usually by looking at the extension.
If it's not obvious from the filename what output format is
intended, an error will result.
<p>[Default: <code>(auto)</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>out = <out-table></code> <em>(<a href="http://andromeda.star.bris.ac.uk/starjavadocs/uk/ac/starlink/ttools/TableConsumer.html">TableConsumer</a>)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>The location of the output table. This is usually a filename
to write to.
If it is equal to the special value "-" (the default)
the output table will be written to standard output.
<p>[Default: <code>-</code>]
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
