CP(1)

NAME
cp - copy

SYNOPSIS
cp file1 file2

cp file ... directory

DESCRIPTION
File1 is copied onto file2. The mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; the mode of the source file is used otherwise.

In the second form, one or more files are copied into the directory with their original file-names.

Cp refuses to copy a file onto itself.
