instant [ inputfile outputfile ] instant [ inputfile ... directory ]
instant copies TeraScan datasets to create new datasets. The UNIX cp function is adequate for most copy operations. However, instant can be used to instantiate the pointer datasets created with the TeraScan subset and assemble functions. instant resolves all variable links and copies data for all variables to the output.
This is a simple example of making an instant copy of a raw dataset to another.
