Your primitive should take in a file and copy it to an output file. There is no need to do any data reformatting, computations, or throttling. You only need to work with Midas Blue files (i.e. `DataFile`) and pipes (which also use `DataFile`). Tips: Try using the MA.getDataFile(<name>, <file>, <flags>) method when getting the output file. This will get a new file that has matching header information as another file (in this case the input file). Since MA.getDataFile(<name>, <file>, <flags>) is only used when getting an output file there is no need to use the `OUTPUT` flag (you can just use 0 for `<flags>`). Remember to open the input file, before using it here (as this will try to read the input file's headers). Update the command dictionary and build the primitive. Test your primitive.
