The best way to get the true "default" setting is to
examine the switch list by adding the /DEBUG switch
(or examine the log file using the /OA or /ON switch).

To be more precise, the "default" setting is more
complicated than that. XXCOPY tries to ease the pain
of typing all common and usually-obvious combination.

E.g., when you specify /SG (gather files from subdirectories),
it implicitly adds /S because in 99% of /SG operations
are for gathering files from multi-level subdirectories
into a single destination directory. So, in this case,
the default setting of with respect to the /S/S0 aspect
is /S when the /SG is in effect whereas for typical
copy operations, /S0 is the default settings.

Use /? for a switch you are interested in using.

E.g.,

xxcopy \src\ \dst\ /h /?

Note: this is not an exhaustive list for the whole
command set. On the other hand, if you add /oP to a
particular command line, more focused sets of mutually
exhaustive switches that are relevant to the current
command line will be displayed.

We have not compiled an exhaustive list of the entire
set of switches that shows all permutations and
variations. I think it is pointless to make an
exhaustive list as suggested. We have a more reasonable
list --- the alphabetical listing and otherwise.
