NAMEcp − copy files and directories
SYNOPSIScp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
DESCRIPTION Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. −a, −−archive same as −dR −−preserve=all −−attributes−only don't copy the file data, just the attributes −−backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file −b like −−backup but does not accept an argument −−copy−contents copy contents of special files when recursive −d same as −−no−dereference −−preserve=links −f, −−force if an existing destination file cannot be opened, remove it and try again (this option is ignored when the −n option is also used) −i, −−interactive prompt before overwrite (overrides a previous −n option) −H follow command−line symbolic links in SOURCE −l, −−link hard link files instead of copying −L, −−dereference always follow symbolic links in SOURCE −n, −−no−clobber do not overwrite an existing file (overrides a previous −i option) −P, −−no−dereference never follow symbolic links in SOURCE −p same as −−preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps −−preserve[=ATTR_LIST] preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps), if possible additional attributes: context, links, xattr, all −−no−preserve=ATTR_LIST don't preserve the specified attributes −−parents use full source file name under DIRECTORY −R, −r, −−recursive copy directories recursively −−reflink[=WHEN] control clone/CoW copies. See below −−remove−destination remove each existing destination file before attempting to open it (contrast with −−force) −−sparse=WHEN control creation of sparse files. See below −−strip−trailing−slashes remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument −s, −−symbolic−link make symbolic links instead of copying −S, −−suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix −t, −−target−directory=DIRECTORY copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY −T, −−no−target−directory treat DEST as a normal file −u, −−update copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file or when the destination file is missing −v, −−verbose explain what is being done −x, −−one−file−system stay on this file system −Z set SELinux security context of destination file to default type −−context[=CTX] like −Z, or if CTX is specified then set the SELinux or SMACK security context to CTX −−help display this help and exit −−version output version information and exit 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 −−sparse=auto. Specify −−sparse=always to create a sparse DEST file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes. Use −−sparse=never to inhibit creation of sparse files. When −−reflink[=always] 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 −−reflink=auto is specified, fall back to a standard copy. Use −−reflink=never to ensure a standard copy is performed. The backup suffix is '~', unless set with −−suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be selected via the −−backup option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values: none, off never make backups (even if −−backup is given) numbered, t make numbered backups existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise simple, never always make simple backups 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.
