->This isn't a simple matter of knowing the prototype.   There is no copy
->API (to my knowledge) you need to:
->
->    1) Call the stat() (etc) API to determine which attributes of the file
->        are to be maintained (such as permissions, ownership,
->code page/ccsid,
->        create date, last modified date, etc)
->
->    2) Call the open() API for both the input file & output file.  Setting
->        the code page & permissions on the output file as appropriate
->
->    3) run a loop that calls the read() & write() APIs to copy the actual
->        data from one file to another.
->
->    4) close both files
->
->    5) Set any other attributes (such as change date, owner, etc) using
->         the appropriate API.
->
->So, it's not just one prototype you're looking for, but at least 5
->prototypes, plus data structures and named constants.
->
->Why can't you just use the CPY command with QCAPCMD, as other people
->have suggested?
