For example: +.IP +.B "cp f1 f2 dir" +.PP +is equivalent to: +.IP +.B "cp f1 dir/f1; cp f2 dir/f2" +.PP +.I Cp +copies the contents of plain (non-directory) file +.I fromfile +to +.IR tofile . +The mode and owner of +.I tofile +are preserved if it already exists; the permissions of +.I fromfile +is used otherwise. +The +.B -x +option sets the full mode and modified time of +.I file2 +from +.IR file1 ; +.B -g +sets the group id; and +.B -u +sets the group id and user id (which is usually only possible if the file server is in an administrative mode). +.PP +The +.B -r +option directs +.I cp +to copy recursively the named directories +.I "fromdir ..." +to the target directory +.IR todir . +.PP +.I Fcp +behaves like +.IR cp , +but copies many blocks in parallel. +It works only with files that respect read and write offsets (see +.B pread +and +.B pwrite +in +.IR sys-read (2)), +which usually excludes files representing devices or services. +When it applies, however, it is often +much faster than +.IR cp . +The +.B -R +and +.B -W +options set the number of readers and writers (default for each: 8). +.SH SOURCE +.B /appl/cmd/cp.b +.br +.B /appl/cmd/fcp.b +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR cat (1), +.IR mv (1), +.IR sys-stat (2) +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.I Cp +and +.I fcp +refuse to copy a file onto itself. |
