NAME

     er_cp - copy a performance	experiment


SYNOPSIS

     er_cp experiment1 experiment2

     er_cp experiment1 [ experiment2 ... ] directory

     er_cp -V


DESCRIPTION

     er_cp copies one or more experiments as follows:

     o	  If the last argument is a directory,	multiple  experi-
	  ments	may be given, and they are copied under	their old
	  names	into that directory.

     o	  If the last argument is a new	 experiment  name,  er_cp
	  copies  the  existing	experiment specified by	the first
	  argument to the new name given by the	second	argument.
	  Only	one  input  experiment may be given.  If the last
	  argument is an existing file,	the  command  returns  an
	  error.

     er_cp cannot be used to move experiment groups, and  returns
     an	error if used on a group.

     er_cp cannot be used on experiments  recorded  with  earlier
     versions  of the tools; it	exits with an error if invoked on
     such an experiment.
