## 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 test file and name it test-backup
|
|
$ cp test test-backup
|
|
|
|
# Copy tests directory and name it tests-backup
|
|
$ cp -R tests tests-backup
|
|
|
|
# Copy test file into existing root
|
|
$ cp test root
|
|
```
