+.SH DESCRIPTION
+In the first form,
+.I fromfile
+is any name and
+.I tofile
+is any name except an existing directory.
+In the second form, the commands copy one or more
+.I fromfiles
+into
+.I dir
+under their original file names, as if by a sequence of commands in the first form. 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).
