Preserves structure and attributes of files +but not directory structure. +.It Fl f +.\"For each existing destination pathname, remove it and +If the destination file cannot be opened, remove it and +create a new file, without prompting for confirmation +regardless of its permissions. +(The +.Fl f +option overrides any previous +.Fl n +option.) +.Pp +The target file is not unlinked before the copy. +Thus, any existing access rights will be retained. +.It Fl H +If the +.Fl R +option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed. +(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.) +.It Fl i +Cause +.Nm cp +to write a prompt to the standard error output before copying a file +that would overwrite an existing file. +If the response from the standard input begins with the character +.Sq Li y +or +.Sq Li Y , +the file copy is attempted. +(The +.Fl i +option overrides any previous +.Fl n +option.) +.It Fl L +If the +.Fl R +option is specified, all symbolic links are followed. +.It Fl n +Do not overwrite an existing file. +(The +.Fl n +option overrides any previous +.Fl f +or +.Fl i +options.) +.It Fl P +If the +.Fl R +option is specified, no symbolic links are followed. +This is the default. +.It Fl p +Cause +.Nm cp +to preserve the following attributes of each source +file in the copy: modification time, access time, +file flags, file mode, user ID, and group ID, as allowed by permissions. +Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Extended Attributes (EAs), +including resource forks, will also be preserved. +.Pp +If the user ID and group ID cannot be preserved, no error message +is displayed and the exit value is not altered. +.Pp +If the source file has its set-user-ID bit on and the user ID cannot +be preserved, the set-user-ID bit is not preserved +in the copy's permissions. +If the source file has its set-group-ID bit on and the group ID cannot +be preserved, the set-group-ID bit is not preserved +in the copy's permissions. +If the source file has both its set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits on, +and either the user ID or group ID cannot be preserved, neither +the set-user-ID nor set-group-ID bits are preserved in the copy's +permissions. +.It Fl R +If +.Ar source_file +designates a directory, +.Nm cp +copies the directory and the entire subtree connected at that point. +If the +.Ar source_file +ends in a +.Pa / , +the contents of the directory are copied rather than the +directory itself. +This option also causes symbolic links to be copied, rather than +indirected through, and for +.Nm cp +to create special files rather than copying them as normal files. +Created directories have the same mode as the corresponding source +directory, unmodified by the process' umask. +.Pp +In +.Fl R +mode, +.Nm cp +will continue copying even if errors are detected. +.Pp +Note that +.Nm cp +copies hard-linked files as separate files. +If you need to preserve hard links, consider using +.Xr tar 1 , +.Xr cpio 1 , +or +.Xr pax 1 +instead. +.It Fl v +Cause +.Nm cp +to be verbose, showing files as they are copied. +.It Fl X +Do not copy Extended Attributes (EAs) or resource forks. +.It Fl c +copy files using clonefile(2) +.El +.Pp +For each destination file that already exists, its contents are +overwritten if permissions allow. +Its mode, user ID, and group +ID are unchanged unless the +.Fl p +option was specified. +.Pp +In the second synopsis form, +.Ar target_directory +must exist unless there is only one named +.Ar source_file +which is a directory and the +.Fl R +flag is specified. +.Pp +If the destination file does not exist, the mode of the source file is +used as modified by the file mode creation mask +.Pf ( Ic umask , +see +.Xr csh 1 ) . +If the source file has its set-user-ID bit on, that bit is removed +unless both the source file and the destination file are owned by the +same user. +If the source file has its set-group-ID bit on, that bit is removed +unless both the source file and the destination file are in the same +group and the user is a member of that group. +If both the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits are set, all of the above +conditions must be fulfilled or both bits are removed. +.Pp +Appropriate permissions are required for file creation or overwriting. +.Pp +Symbolic links are always followed unless the +.Fl R +flag is set, in which case symbolic links are not followed, by default. +The +.Fl H +or +.Fl L +flags (in conjunction with the +.Fl R +flag) cause symbolic links to be followed as described above. +The +.Fl H , +.Fl L +and +.Fl P +options are ignored unless the +.Fl R +option is specified. +In addition, these options override each other and the +command's actions are determined by the last one specified. +.Pp +If +.Nm cp +receives a +.Dv SIGINFO +(see the +.Cm status +argument for +.Xr stty 1 ) +signal, the current input and output file and the percentage complete +will be written to the standard output. +.Sh EXIT STATUS +.Ex -std +.Sh COMPATIBILITY +Historic versions of the +.Nm cp +utility had a +.Fl r +option. +This implementation supports that option; +however, its use is strongly discouraged, +as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links, or fifo's. +.Pp +The +.Fl v +and +.Fl n +options are non-standard and their use in scripts is not recommended. +.Sh LEGACY DESCRIPTION +In legacy mode, +.Fl f +will override +.Fl i . +Also, under the +.Fl f +option, the target file is always unlinked before the copy. +Thus, new access rights will always be set. +.Pp +In +.Fl R +mode, copying will terminate if an error is encountered. +.Pp +For more information about legacy mode, see +.Xr compat 5 . +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr mv 1 , +.Xr rcp 1 , +.Xr umask 2 , +.Xr fts 3 , +.Xr compat 5 , +.Xr symlink 7 +.Sh STANDARDS
