## Name
cp - copy files
## Synopsis
```**sh
$ cp [options...] <source...> <destination>
```
## Description
`cp` copies files specified in `source` to `destination`.
If there are several `sources`, the directory `destination` is created and all files specified in `sources` are copied into that directory. Otherwise, the `source` file is copied as `destination` file. If the file exists, it is overridden. If `destination` directory exists and there is only one `source`, the `source` file is copied into the `destination` directory.
If a directory is specified in `source`, the `-R` (recursive) flag is required. Otherwise, an error occurs.
## Options
* `-l`, `--link`: Create hard links instead of copying
* `-R`, `-r`, `--recursive`: Copy directories recursively
* `-v`, `--verbose`: Display what files are copied
## Examples
```sh
# Copy cpp-tests file and name it cpp-tests-backup
$ cp cpp-tests cpp-tests-backup
# Copy cpp-tests directory and name it cpp-tests-backup
$ cp -R cpp-tests cpp-tests-backup
# Copy cpp-tests file into existing root
$ cp cpp-tests root
```
