cp – copy files and directories<\/p>\n
cp<\/strong>\u00a0[OPTION<\/em>]… [-T<\/em>]\u00a0SOURCE DEST<\/em> Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple\u00a0SOURCE<\/strong>(s) to DIRECTORY.<\/p>\n Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.<\/p>\n By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude heuristic and the corresponding DEST file is made sparse as well. That is the behavior selected by\u00a0–sparse<\/strong>=auto<\/em>. Specify\u00a0–sparse<\/strong>=always<\/em>\u00a0to create a sparse DEST file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes. Use\u00a0–sparse<\/strong>=never<\/em>\u00a0to inhibit creation of sparse files.<\/p>\n When\u00a0–reflink<\/strong>[=always<\/em>] is specified, perform a lightweight copy, where the data blocks are copied only when modified. If this is not possible the copy fails, or if\u00a0–reflink<\/strong>=auto<\/em>\u00a0is specified, fall back to a standard copy.<\/p>\n The backup suffix is ‘~’, unless set with\u00a0–suffix<\/strong>\u00a0or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be selected via the\u00a0–backup<\/strong>\u00a0option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:<\/p>\n As a special case, cp makes a backup of SOURCE when the force and backup options are given and SOURCE and DEST are the same name for an existing, regular file.<\/p>\n Written by Torbjorn Granlund, David MacKenzie, and Jim Meyering.<\/p>\n Report cp bugs to\u00a0bug-coreutils@gnu.org<\/a> Copyright \u00c2\u00a9 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
