.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBpcp\fP command is a is a wrapper that starts several
\fBsync\fP processes to copy directory trees in parallel. This is
allows much better copying performance on file system that have
relatively high latency when retrieving individual files like S3QL.
.sp
\fBNote\fP: Using this program only improves performance when copying
\fIfrom\fP an S3QL file system. When copying \fIto\fP an S3QL file system,
using \fBpcp\fP is more likely to \fIdecrease\fP performance.
.SH OPTIONS
