Using CP - Command Line Options
cp [-ifprv?] file1 file2
cp [-ifprvd?] file1 fileN directory
If the last file is a directory, each file is copied into a file in the destination directory with the
same name.
If only two files are specified, file1 is copied to file2.
If more than two files are specified, the last file must be a directory.
The options for CP are:
-i: ask for confirmation before overwriting each destination file.
-f: copy the file, don't ask for confirmation even if it will overwrite a file marked Read-Only.
-p: preserve the source attributes and last modified date and time for the destination file. This
is the default. To turn if off use -p-.
