## B.28 `tcopy`: Converts between table formats

`tcopy` is a table copying tool. It simply copies a table from one place to another, but since you can specify the input and output formats as desired, it works as a converter from any of the supported input formats to any of the supported output formats.

`tcopy` is just a stripped-down version of `tpipe` - it doesn't do anything that `tpipe` can't, but the usage is slightly simplified. It is provided as a drop-in replacement for the old `tablecopy` (`uk.ac.starlink.table.TableCopy`) tool which was supplied with earlier versions of STIL and TOPCAT - it has the same arguments and behaviour as `tablecopy`, but is implemented somewhat differently and will in some cases be more efficient.
