cp - copy files
/usr/bin/cp [-fip@/] source_file target_file
/usr/bin/cp [-fip@/] source_file... target
/usr/bin/cp -r | -R [-H | -L | -P] [-fip@/] source_dir... target
/usr/bin/cp -R | -R [-H | -L | -P] [-fip@/] source_dir... target
/usr/xpg4/bin/cp [-fip@/] source_file target_file
/usr/xpg4/bin/cp [-fip@/] source_file... target
/usr/xpg4/bin/cp -r | -R [-H | -L | -P] [-fip@/] source_dir... target
/usr/xpg4/bin/cp -R | -R [-H | -L | -P] [-fip@/] source_dir... target
In the first synopsis form, neither source_file nor target_file are directory files, nor can they have the same name. The cp utility copies the contents of source_file to the destination path named by target_file. If target_file exists, cp overwrites its contents, but the mode (and ACL if applicable), owner, and group associated with it are not changed. The last modification time of target_file and the last access time of source_file are set to the time the copy was made. If target_file does not exist, cp creates a new file named target_file that has the same mode as source_file except that the sticky bit is not set unless the user is super-user. In this case, the owner and group of target_file are those of the user, unless the setgid bit is set on the directory containing the newly created file. If the directory's setgid bit is set, the newly created file has the group of the containing directory rather than of the creating user. If target_file is a link to another file, cp overwrites the link destination with the contents of source_file; the link(s) from target_file remains.
In the second synopsis form, one or more source_files are copied to the directory specified by target. It is an error if any source_file is a file of type directory, if target either does not exist or is not a directory.
In the third or fourth synopsis forms, one or more directories specified by source_dir are copied to the directory specified by target. Either the -r or -R must be specified. For each source_dir, cp copies all files and subdirectories.
The following options are supported for both /usr/bin/cp and /usr/xpg4/bin/cp:
-f
-H
If the source_file operand is a symbolic link, then cp copies the file referenced by the symbolic link for the source_file operand. All other symbolic links encountered during traversal of a file hierarchy are preserved.
-i
-L
Copies files referenced by symbolic links. Symbolic links encountered during traversal of a file hierarchy are not preserved.
-p
If cp is unable to preserve the access and modification times, extended attributes, or the file mode, cp does not consider it a failure. If cp is unable to preserve the owner and group id, the copy does not fail, but cp silently clears the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits from the file mode of the target. The copy fails if cp is unable to clear these bits. If cp is unable to preserve the ACL or extended system attributes, the copy fails. If the copy fails, then a diagnostic message is written to stderr and (after processing any remaining operands) cp exits with a non-zero exit status.
-P
Copies symbolic links. Symbolic links encountered during traversal of a file hierarchy are preserved.
-r
-R
-@
-/
Specifying more than one of the mutually-exclusive options -H, -L, and -P is not considered an error. The last option specified determines the behavior of the utility.
If the -p option is specified with either the -@ option or the -/ option, /usr/bin/cp behaves as follows
If the -p option is specified with either the -@ option or the -/ option, /usr/xpg4/bin/cp behaves as follows:
The following operands are supported:
source_file
source_dir
target_file
target
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cp when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
Example 1 Copying a File
The following example copies a file:
example% cp goodies goodies.old example% ls goodies* goodies goodies.old
Example 2 Copying a List of Files
The following example copies a list of files to a destination directory:
example% cp ~/src/* /tmp
Example 3 Copying a Directory
The following example copies a directory, first to a new, and then to an existing destination directory
example% ls ~/bkup /usr/example/fred/bkup not found example% cp -r ~/src ~/bkup example% ls -R ~/bkup x.c y.c z.sh example% cp -r ~/src ~/bkup example% ls -R ~/bkup src x.c y.c z.sh src: x.c y.c z.s
Example 4 Copying Extended File System Attributes
The following example copies extended file system attributes:
$ ls -/ c file1 -rw-r--r-- 1 foo staff 0 Oct 29 20:04 file1 {AH-----m--} $ cp -/ file1 file2 $ ls -/c file2 -rw-r--r-- 1 foo staff 0 Oct 29 20:17 file2 {AH-----m--}
Example 5 Failing to Copy Extended System Attributes
The following example fails to copy extended system attributes:
$ ls -/c file1 -rw-r--r-- 1 foo staff 0 Oct 29 20:04 file1 {AH-----m--} $ cp -/ file1 /tmp cp: Failed to copy extended system attributes from file1 to /tmp/file1 $ ls -/c /tmp/file1 -rw-r--r-- 1 foo staff 0 Oct 29 20:09 /tmp/file1 {}
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of cp: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
Affirmative responses are processed using the extended regular expression defined for the yesexpr keyword in the LC_MESSAGES category of the user's locale. The locale specified in the LC_COLLATE category defines the behavior of ranges, equivalence classes, and multi-character collating elements used in the expression defined for yesexpr. The locale specified in LC_CTYPE determines the locale for interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data a characters, the behavior of character classes used in the expression defined for the yesexpr. See locale(5).
The following exit values are returned:
0
>0
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
|
|
chmod(1), chown(1), setfacl(1), utime(2), fgetattr(3C), attributes(5), environ(5), fsattr(5), largefile(5), locale(5), standards(5)
The permission modes of the source file are preserved in the copy.
A -- permits the user to mark the end of any command line options explicitly, thus allowing cp to recognize filename arguments that begin with a -.
