NAME
       cp - copy files and directories

SYNOPSIS
       cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST
       cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
       cp [OPTION]... --target-directory=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 -dpR

       --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=link

       --no-dereference
              never follow symbolic links

       -f, --force
              if an existing destination file cannot be opened, remove it and try again

       -i, --interactive
              prompt before overwrite

       -H     follow command-line symbolic links

       -l, --link
              link files instead of copying

       -L, --dereference
              always follow symbolic links

       -p     same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps

       --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
              preserve  the  specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps) and
              security contexts, if possible additional attributes: links, all

       --no-preserve=ATTR_LIST
              don’t preserve the specified attributes

       --parents
              append source path to DIRECTORY

       -P     same as ‘--no-dereference’

       -R, -r, --recursive
              copy directories recursively

       --remove-destination
              remove each existing destination file before attempting to open it (contrast
              with --force)

       --reply={yes,no,query}
              specify how to handle the prompt about an existing destination file

       --sparse=WHEN
              control creation of sparse files

       --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

       --target-directory=DIRECTORY
              move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY

       -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

       --help display this help and exit

       -Z, --context=CONTEXT
              set security context of copy to CONTEXT

       --version
              output version information and exit

       By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude heuristic  and  the  corre-
       sponding  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.

       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 VER-
       SION_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.
