Other Changes: See section "New Features" and "Backward Compatibility" at
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~abh/bbcp/#_Toc392015164
- The new -ptime option forces bbcp to preserve only source file's
access and modification time at the destination; leaving the group
and mode unchanged.
- The new -gross option forces bbcp to copy empty directory structures
in recursive mode.
- The new -mkdir option creates the destination directory for a
recursive copy should it not exist.
- The new -symlinks option specifies how symbolic links are to be
handled during a recursive copy.
- Dual stack IPv6 mode is fully functional and is the default mode
of operation. The new -ipv4 option forces bbcp to use the IPv4 TCP
stack.
- The new -license option prints the license under which bbcp is
distributed.
- The new -version option displays bbcp's version number installed
on the current host.
- The BBCP_ALLOWPP environmental variable may be used to restrict
program pipes to a specified set of programs or disable the feature
altogether.
- The new -Z option allows you to specify the port range to be used
for incoming connections on the command line instead of relying on
/etc/services to contain those values.
Notes:
- Older version will fail if any of the new option: -ptime is specified.
- Older version will fail if any of the new options: -gross, --mkdir, or
--symlinks is specified.
- Older version will fail if the new -ipv4 option is specified.
Older versions always use the IPv4 TCP stack, making the option
generally unnecessary.
- Older versions will fail if the new -Z option is specified.
