<!--INDEX "copy command" -->
<p>The copy command copies a specified number of bytes from one location
in memory to another.
<h2>
Format</h2>
<dl>
<dd>
The format of the copy command is:</dd>
<pre>
<font size="+1">copy from to size
</font>
</pre>
where:
<br>&nbsp;
<table width="95%">
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<td WIDTH="75">from&nbsp;</td>
<td width="518">declares the source address location.&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="75">to&nbsp;</td>
<td width="518">declares the target address location.&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<td width="75">size&nbsp;</td>
<td width="518">is the size of the block of memory to be copied. This quantity
is specified in bytes.&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<h2>
Functional Description</h2>
<dl>
<dd> The copy command replicates a specified number of bytes from one place
in memory to another.</dd>
<p>If to is less than from, copying is performed in ascending order starting
at from. If from is less than to, copying is performed in descending order
starting at from + size.
<p>When moving a data block down, the source data is copied from the bottom
of the block upwards: and when moving a data block up, the source data is
copied from the top of the block downwards. By this technique, there is no
risk of copying over data in overlapping block move operations; as the data
in the overlapping area is copied first.
</dl>
<h2>
Examples</h2>
<dl>
<ul>
<li>
This example shows how to copy a block of memory, 8 Kbytes in size, with
a base address of 0x80020000, to another 8-Kbyte area starting at the address
0x80060000.</li>
<pre>
PMON> copy 80020000 80060000 2000
</pre>
</ul>
</dl>
