avoid extra copies and to avoid buffering too much data in
main memory when copying large files to slow destinations like
network sockets.
.PP
The \fBfcopy\fR
command transfers data from \fIinchan\fR until end of file
or \fIsize\fR bytes or characters have been
transferred; \fIsize\fR is in bytes if the two channels are using the
same encoding, and is in characters otherwise.
transferred; \fIsize\fR is in bytes if the input channel is in binary mode,
or if the two channels are using the same encoding and -strict is not specified.
Otherwise, size is in characters.
If no \fB\-size\fR argument is given,
then the copy goes until end of file.
All the data read from \fIinchan\fR is copied to \fIoutchan\fR.
Without the \fB\-command\fR option, \fBfcopy\fR blocks until the copy is complete
and returns the number of bytes or characters (using the same rules as
for the \fB\-size\fR option) written to \fIoutchan\fR.
