CP(1)

NAME
cp - copy files and/or directories

SYNOPSIS
        % cp [-fipv] source_file  target_file
        % cp [-fipv] source...  target_dir

DESCRIPTION
The cp utility copies the source files/directories to the target. If the target is a file you may only specify one file as the source. cp will not copy a file onto itself.

  OPTIONS

•   -f - force copy if possible (DEFAULT)

•   -i - prompt for confirmation whenever the copy would overwrite an existing target.

•   -p - preserve source file attributes (like modDate) as much as possible onto the target.

•   -v - verbose. Echo "cp source target" before copy is done.

Specifying both -f and -i options is not considered an error. The -f option will override the -i option.

BUGS
cp has no known bugs, but be aware that the current copy mode is binary mode.

EXIT STATUS

•   0 - All sources were copied successfully.

•   1 - There was error
