Overview

Copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permission modes and owner/group

Options

--backup=CONTROL: make a backup of each existing destination file

-b: like --backup but does not accept an argument

-c: ignored

-C, --compare: compare each pair of source and destination files, and in some cases, do not modify the destination at all

-d, --directory: treat all arguments as directory names. create all components of the specified directories

-D: create all leading components of DEST except the last, then copy SOURCE to DEST

-g, --group=GROUP: set group ownership, instead of process's current group

-m, --mode=MODE: set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x

-o, --owner=OWNER: set ownership (super-user only)

-p, --preserve-timestamps: apply access/modification times of SOURCE files to corresponding destination files

-s, --strip: strip symbol tables (no action Windows)

--strip-program=PROGRAM: program used to strip binaries (no action Windows)

-S, --suffix=SUFFIX: override the usual backup suffix

-t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY: move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY

-T, --no-target-directory: (unimplemented) treat DEST as a normal file

-v, --verbose: explain what is being done

-P, --preserve-context: (unimplemented) preserve security context

-Z, --context: (unimplemented) set security context of files and directories

-h, --help: Print help

-V, --version: Print version
