NAME
       efi_cp - copy to or from EFI file

SYNOPSIS
       devicefile] file1 file2

       devicefile] file1 [file2]...  dest-directory

       devicefile] file_or_dir1 [file_or_dir2]...  dest-directory

DESCRIPTION
       copies files between HP-UX and EFI file systems.

       The  EFI	 file  system  is based on the FAT file system and used by the
       Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader.	 See efi(4).

       Without the option, copies from an HP-UX file system to the EFI	volume
       specified  by devicefile; in this case, the destination should be rela‐
       tive to the root of the EFI volume specified by	devicefile.   Use  the
       option  to  copy	 from an EFI file system to an HP-UX file system; with
       the option, only a single regular file may be copied at a time.

       With two arguments:

       · If file2 does not exist, creates it and copies the contents of	 file1
	 into file2.

       · If  file2  exists  and is a regular file, deletes the the contents of
	 file2 and copies the contents of file1 into file2.

       · If file2 exists and is a directory, creates a copy of file1  in  that
	 directory.

       With  more  than	 two arguments, the final argument must be an existing
       directory.  If any of the other arguments is a directory, you must  use
       the  option,  which specifies that the source directory and the subtree
       rooted there are to be copied to the destination directory.

   Options
       Options can be used singly or combined in any  order  before  the  file
       names.  The space between option and argument is optional.

       devicefile     is  the device special file of the EFI file system to be
		      copied.  Without the option, uses the device file speci‐
		      fied  in the environment variable if it is defined.  The
		      option overrides the environment variable.

       Recursively copy the subtree rooted at each source directory to
		      the destination directory.

       Copy	      file1 from an EFI volume to file2 in HP-UX file  system.
		      file1  should  be relative to the root of the EFI volume
		      specified by devicefile, not to an  HP-UX	 file  system.
		      With  the	 option,  only	a  single  regular file may be
		      copied at a time.

RETURN VALUE
       returns exit code 0 if the copy is successful.  Otherwise it  prints  a
       diagnostic message and returns nonzero.

	   0	  Successful completion.
	  >0	  Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES
       All  the	 following  examples  copy  to	or from the EFI file system on
       device

       Copy into directory in the EFI file system on the specified device:

       Copy all files in current directory into directory in the EFI file sys‐
       tem on the specified device

       Copy  into directory in the EFI file system on the specified device and
       rename it

       Copy into the EFI boot directory of the EFI file system on  the	speci‐
       fied device:

       Copy  into  of the EFI file system on the device specified in the envi‐
       ronment variable and rename it to

       Copy from the EFI file system on the specified device into the  current
       HP-UX directory:

       Using  a	 persistent  device  special file (dsf) copy from the EFI file
       system on the specified device into the current	HP-UX  directory  (see
       intro(7)):
