The command line

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

Print a plan

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

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 code	Meaning
0	The plan is ready.
1	A blocker stands. The plan names it.
2	The 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.

Plug-in options

The plan command starts the enabled plug-ins, as the window does.

Option	What it does
--no-plugins	Makes the plan with no plug-in.
--plugin-field ID:KEY=VALUE	Gives the job field KEY to the plug-in ID. Give the option once for each field.

A blocker from a plug-in also gives the exit code 1. A plug-in that does not start, or that stops, gives the exit code 2. The command writes a line on the error output for each plug-in that is not valid or not enabled, and for each line that a plug-in writes on its own error output.
