The main difference is to make <B>ecat</B> symmetrical with regards to specifying the input and output. <P> Exactly two pathnames must be specified, one of which must be '-', representing standard-input (<FONT SIZE="-1">STDIN</FONT>) for the first pathname and standard-output (<FONT SIZE="-1">STDOUT</FONT>) for the second pathname. <P> <I>Note on resilience. Whereas </I><FONT SIZE="-1"><I>ECFS</I></FONT><I> generally tries its best to recover from errors, via retries, such recovery is often not possible with ecat, particularly when copying from standard input.</I> <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <H2>OPTIONS</H2> <A NAME="ixAAE"></A> <DL COMPACT> <DT>*<DD> In the first instance, with the source being <FONT SIZE="-1">STDIN,</FONT> most options are the same as those in <B>ecp</B>. There is no '-t'/'-u' option, as there is no timestamp on the source. <DT>*<DD> The first instance requires an estimated size, in bytes, for the file. If this is not accurately known, then it should be a reasonable estimate. A slight overestimate is preferable to any underestimate. <DT>*<DD> In the second instance, with the destination being <FONT SIZE="-1">STDOUT,</FONT> there are no useful options. </DL> <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> <H2>EXAMPLES</H2> <A NAME="ixAAF"></A> <A NAME="lbAG"> </A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <A NAME="ixAAG"></A> <I><A HREF="http://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/UDOC/Commands/ecfs.1">ecfs</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="http://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/UDOC/Commands/ecp">ecp</A></I>(1) <P> <HR> <A NAME="index"> </A><H2>Index</H2> <DL> <DT><A HREF="#lbAB">NAME</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAC">SYNOPSIS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAD">DESCRIPTION</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAE">OPTIONS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAF">EXAMPLES</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAG">SEE ALSO</A><DD> </DL> <HR> This document was created by <A HREF="http://github.com/hamano/man2html/">man2html</A>, using the manual pages.<BR> Time: 14:4251:0757 GMT, July 23, 2018 </BODY> </HTML> |
