The command line

MediaCopy 3000 is a window. One command runs without it.

mediacopy3000 plan offload SOURCE DEST [DEST…] [--resume | --replace] [--seal-first]
mediacopy3000 plan verify FOLDER
mediacopy3000 plan seal FOLDER

The command reads the folders, prints the plan, and exits. It writes nothing. mediacopy3000 plan --help prints the shapes, and mediacopy3000 --help prints the commands.

Every other argument goes to the toolkit, which is how the desktop file starts the window.

Exit codeMeaning
0The plan is ready.
1A blocker stands. The plan names it.
2The arguments are wrong, or the plan could not be made. The message is on the error output.

--resume and --replace choose what to do with a destination that holds a partial copy. The page Offloading a media source explains both. --seal-first seals the media source before the copy, and stops if the seal finds a problem.
