robocopy syntax

i was using xcopy source destination /e /c /h /r /k/ y

How can I write this in robocopy syntax?

also, I'd like to add a switch so it doesn't copy files or folders that are
already in the destination directory.

thanks

From Xcopy /?

"NOTE: Xcopy is now deprecated, please use Robocopy."

Try this command
robocopy /?
Then look at the command line switches information.

YES! Using robocopy.

please read my question.

I want to duplicate the switches I used with xcopy into robocopy. I cannot
see how to do this. Plus the other part of the question.

The robocopy equivalent of /y is /po0.
