+.SH NAME
+gcp \- global file copy
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B gcp
+file1 file2
+.br
+.B gcp
+[
+.B \-r
+] file ... directory
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I gcp
+works just like rcp(1C) except that you may specify a set of hosts to copy files
+from or to.
+The host sets are defined in the file /etc/ghosts.
+(An individual host name can be used as a set containing one member.)
+You can give a command like
+
+	gcp /etc/motd sun:
+
+to copy your /etc/motd file to /etc/motd on all the Suns.
+If, on the other hand, you say
+
+	gcp /a/foo /b/bar sun:/tmp
+
+then your files will be copied to /tmp on all the Suns.
+The general rule is that if you don't specify the destination directory,
+files go to the same directory they are in currently.
+.P
+You may specify the union of two or more sets by using + as follows:
+
+	gcp /a/foo /b/bar 750+mc:
+
+which will copy /a/foo to /a/foo on all 750's and Masscomps, and then copy
+/b/bar to /b/bar on all 750's and Masscomps.
+.P
+Commonly used sets should be defined in /etc/ghosts.
+For example, you could add a line that says
+
+	pep=manny+moe+jack
+
+Another way to do that would be to add the word "pep" after each of the host
+entries:
+
+	manny	sun3 pep
+.br
+	moe		sun3 pep
+.br
+	jack		sun3 pep
+
+Hosts and sets of host can also be excluded:
+
+	foo=sun-sun2
+
+Any host so excluded will never be included, even if a subsequent set on the
+line includes it:
+
+	foo=abc+def
+.br
+	bar=xyz-abc+foo
+
+comes out to xyz+def.
+
+You can define private host sets by creating .ghosts in your current directory
+with entries just like /etc/ghosts.
+Also, if there is a file .grem, it defines "rem" to be the remaining hosts
+from the last gsh or gcp that didn't succeed everywhere.
+.PP
+Interrupting with a SIGINT will cause the rcp to the current host to be skipped
+and execution resumed with the next host.
+To stop completely, send a SIGQUIT.

+All the bugs of rcp, since it calls rcp.
