The specific format of the XCOPY command for copying an entire directory under DOS: XCOPY source ] ] ...] Explanation: - `source`: The path of the source directory. - `destination`: The path of the destination directory. - `/A`: Copies only files with the archive attribute set, and does not clear the archive attribute. - `/M`: Copies only files with the archive attribute set, and clears the archive attribute. - `/D `: Copies files changed on or after the specified date. If no date is specified, copies only files that are newer than those in the destination directory. - `/P`: Prompts before creating each destination file. - `/S`: Copies directories and subdirectories (excluding empty ones). - `/E`: Copies directories and subdirectories (including empty ones). - `/V`: Verifies the integrity of the copied files. - `/W`: Prompts for a key before starting the copy. - `/C`: Continues copying even if errors occur. - `/I`: If the destination is a directory or a multiple-file copy, assumes the destination is a directory. - `/Q`: Does not display file names while copying. - `/F`: Displays the full source and destination file names while copying. - `/L`: Lists the files that would be copied, but does not actually copy them. - `/G`: Allows the use of simple encryption for copying to a compatible destination. - `/H`: Copies hidden and system files. - `/R`: Overwrites read-only files. - `/T`: Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not include empty directories or subdirectories. - `/U`: Copies only files that already exist in the destination directory. - `/K`: Preserves the read-only attribute of the copied files. - `/N`: Uses short file names when copying. - `/O`: Copies file ownership and ACL information. - `/X`: Copies file audit settings (implies /O). - `/Y`: Suppresses prompting to confirm overwriting an existing destination file. - `/ -Y`: Prompts to confirm overwriting an existing destination file. - `/Z`: Copies files in restartable mode. - `/B`: Copies the symbolic link itself instead of the target of the symbolic link. - `/J`: Copies using unbuffered I/O. This can increase performance for large files. - `/EXCLUDE:file1 ...`: Specifies a list of files containing strings. Any file with a full path that matches any of the strings in the file will be excluded from copying. - China DOS Union Forum

XCOPY source
source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A Copies files with the archive attribute set,
doesn't change the attribute.
/M Copies files with the archive attribute set,
turns off the archive attribute.
/D:date Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
/P Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E Copies any subdirectories, even if empty.
/V Verifies each new file.
/W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line
