CP(I) 5/15/74 CP(I)
NAME
cp - copy
SYNOPSIS
cp [ -t ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
The first file is copied onto the second. The mode and
owner of the target file are preserved if it already
existed; the mode of the source file is used otherwise.
If file2 is a directory, then the target file is a file in
that directory with the file-name of file1.
No one is quite sure what the flag -t does.
SEE ALSO
cat (I), pr (I), mv (I)
BUGS
Copying a file onto itself destroys its contents.
