DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
Cp copies one file to another, or copies one or more files to a
|
||
directory. Special files are normally opened and read, unless -r is
|
||
used. -r also copies the link structure, something -R doesn't care
|
||
about. The -s option differs from -p that it only copies the times if
|
||
the target file already exists. A normal copy only copies the mode of
|
||
the file, with the file creation mask applied. Set-uid bits are cleared
|
||
if the owner cannot be set. (The -s flag does not patronize you by
|
||
clearing bits. Alas -s and -r are nonstandard.)
|
||
|
||
Cpdir is a convenient synonym for cp -psmr to make a precise copy of a
|
||
directory tree.
