Fl H | Fl L | Fl P +.Oc +.Op Fl fip +.Ar source_file ... target_directory +.Sh DESCRIPTION +In the first synopsis form, the +.Nm cp +utility copies the contents of the +.Ar source_file +to the +.Ar target_file . +In the second synopsis form, +the contents of each named +.Ar source_file +is copied to the destination +.Ar target_directory . +The names of the files themselves are not changed. +If +.Nm cp +detects an attempt to copy a file to itself, the copy will fail. +.Pp +The following options are available: +.Bl -tag -width flag +.It Fl H +If the +.Fl R +option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed. +(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.) +.It Fl L +If the +.Fl R +option is specified, all symbolic links are followed. +.It Fl P +If the +.Fl R +option is specified, no symbolic links are followed. +.It Fl R +If +.Ar source_file +designates a directory, +.Nm cp +copies the directory and the entire subtree connected at that point. +This option also causes symbolic links to be copied, rather than +indirected through, and for +.Nm cp +to create special files rather than copying them as normal files. +Created directories have the same mode as the corresponding source +directory, unmodified by the process' umask. +.It Fl f +For each existing destination pathname, remove it and +create a new file, without prompting for confirmation +regardless of its permissions. +(The +.Fl i +option is ignored if the +.Fl f +option is specified.) +.It Fl i +Causes +.Nm cp +to write a prompt to the standard error output before copying a file +that would overwrite an existing file. +If the response from the standard input begins with the character +.Sq Li y , +the file copy is attempted. +.It Fl p +Causes +.Nm cp +to preserve in the copy as many of the modification time, access time, +file flags, file mode, user ID, and group ID as allowed by permissions. +.Pp +If the user ID and group ID cannot be preserved, no error message +is displayed and the exit value is not altered. +.Pp +If the source file has its set user ID bit on and the user ID cannot +be preserved, the set user ID bit is not preserved +in the copy's permissions. +If the source file has its set group ID bit on and the group ID cannot +be preserved, the set group ID bit is not preserved +in the copy's permissions. +If the source file has both its set user ID and set group ID bits on, +and either the user ID or group ID cannot be preserved, neither +the set user ID or set group ID bits are preserved in the copy's +permissions. +.El +.Pp +For each destination file that already exists, its contents are +overwritten if permissions allow, but its mode, user ID, and group +ID are unchanged. +.Pp +In the second synopsis form, +.Ar target_directory +must exist unless there is only one named +.Ar source_file +which is a directory and the +.Fl R +flag is specified. +.Pp +If the destination file does not exist, the mode of the source file is +used as modified by the file mode creation mask +.Pf ( Ic umask , +see +.Xr csh 1 ) . +If the source file has its set user ID bit on, that bit is removed +unless both the source file and the destination file are owned by the +same user. +If the source file has its set group ID bit on, that bit is removed +unless both the source file and the destination file are in the same +group and the user is a member of that group. +If both the set user ID and set group ID bits are set, all of the above +conditions must be fulfilled or both bits are removed. +.Pp +Appropriate permissions are required for file creation or overwriting. +.Pp +Symbolic links are always followed unless the +.Fl R +flag is set, in which case symbolic links are not followed, by default. +The +.Fl H +or +.Fl L +flags (in conjunction with the +.Fl R +flag) cause symbolic links to be followed as described above. +The +.Fl H , +.Fl L +and +.Fl P +options are ignored unless the +.Fl R +option is specified. +In addition, these options override each other and the +command's actions are determined by the last one specified. +.Pp +.Nm Cp +exits 0 on success, >0 if an error occurred. +.Sh COMPATIBILITY +Historic versions of the +.Nm cp +utility had a +.Fl r +option. +This implementation supports that option, however, its use is strongly +discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links +or fifo's. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr mv 1 , +.Xr rcp 1 , +.Xr umask 2 , +.Xr fts 3 , +.Xr symlink 7 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm cp +command is expected to be +.St -p1003.2 +compatible. -- cgit
