Next: dd invocation, Up: Basic operations
11.1 ‘cp’: Copy files and directories
=====================================
‘cp’ copies files (or, optionally, directories). The copy is completely
independent of the original. You can either copy one file to another,
or copy arbitrarily many files to a destination directory. Synopses:
cp [OPTION]... -T] SOURCE DEST
cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
• If two file names are given, ‘cp’ copies the first file to the
second.
• If the ‘--target-directory’ (‘-t’) option is given, or failing that
if the last file is a directory and the ‘--no-target-directory’
(‘-T’) option is not given, ‘cp’ copies each SOURCE file to the
specified directory, using the SOURCEs’ names.
Generally, files are written just as they are read. For exceptions,
see the ‘--sparse’ option below.
By default, ‘cp’ does not copy directories. However, the ‘-R’, ‘-a’,
and ‘-r’ options cause ‘cp’ to copy recursively by descending into
source directories and copying files to corresponding destination
directories.
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --Top------------------
Esto es Info, versión 6.1. Teclee H para ayuda, h para cursillo.
When copying from a symbolic link, ‘cp’ normally follows the link
only when not copying recursively or when ‘--link’ (‘-l’) is used. This
default can be overridden with the ‘--archive’ (‘-a’), ‘-d’,
‘--dereference’ (‘-L’), ‘--no-dereference’ (‘-P’), and ‘-H’ options. If
more than one of these options is specified, the last one silently
overrides the others.
When copying to a symbolic link, ‘cp’ follows the link only when it
refers to an existing regular file. However, when copying to a dangling
symbolic link, ‘cp’ refuses by default, and fails with a diagnostic,
since the operation is inherently dangerous. This behavior is contrary
to historical practice and to POSIX. Set ‘POSIXLY_CORRECT’ to make ‘cp’
attempt to create the target of a dangling destination symlink, in spite
of the possible risk. Also, when an option like ‘--backup’ or ‘--link’
acts to rename or remove the destination before copying, ‘cp’ renames or
removes the symbolic link rather than the file it points to.
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas -- 5%------------------
By default, ‘cp’ copies the contents of special files only when not
copying recursively. This default can be overridden with the
‘--copy-contents’ option.
‘cp’ generally refuses to copy a file onto itself, with the following
exception: if ‘--force --backup’ is specified with SOURCE and DEST
identical, and referring to a regular file, ‘cp’ will make a backup
file, either regular or numbered, as specified in the usual ways (*note
Backup options::). This is useful when you simply want to make a backup
of an existing file before changing it.
The program accepts the following options. Also see *note Common
options::.
‘-a’
‘--archive’
Preserve as much as possible of the structure and attributes of the
original files in the copy (but do not attempt to preserve internal
directory structure; i.e., ‘ls -U’ may list the entries in a copied
directory in a different order). Try to preserve SELinux security
context and extended attributes (xattr), but ignore any failure to
do that and print no corresponding diagnostic. Equivalent to ‘-dR
--preserve=all’ with the reduced diagnostics.
‘--attributes-only’
Copy only the specified attributes of the source file to the
destination. If the destination already exists, do not alter its
contents. See the ‘--preserve’ option for controlling which
attributes to copy.
‘-b’
‘--backup=METHOD]’
*Note Backup options::. Make a backup of each file that would
otherwise be overwritten or removed. As a special case, ‘cp’ makes
a backup of SOURCE when the force and backup options are given and
SOURCE and DEST are the same name for an existing, regular file.
One useful application of this combination of options is this tiny
Bourne shell script:
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --16%------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Usage: backup FILE...
# Create a GNU-style backup of each listed FILE.
fail=0
for i; do
cp --backup --force --preserve=all -- "$i" "$i" || fail=1
done
exit $fail
‘--copy-contents’
If copying recursively, copy the contents of any special files
(e.g., FIFOs and device files) as if they were regular files. This
means trying to read the data in each source file and writing it to
the destination. It is usually a mistake to use this option, as it
normally has undesirable effects on special files like FIFOs and
the ones typically found in the ‘/dev’ directory. In most cases,
‘cp -R --copy-contents’ will hang indefinitely trying to read from
FIFOs and special files like ‘/dev/console’, and it will fill up
your destination disk if you use it to copy ‘/dev/zero’. This
option has no effect unless copying recursively, and it does not
affect the copying of symbolic links.
‘-d’
Copy symbolic links as symbolic links rather than copying the files
that they point to, and preserve hard links between source files in
the copies. Equivalent to ‘--no-dereference --preserve=links’.
‘-f’
‘--force’
When copying without this option and an existing destination file
cannot be opened for writing, the copy fails. However, with
‘--force’, when a destination file cannot be opened, ‘cp’ then
removes it and tries to open it again. Contrast this behavior with
that enabled by ‘--link’ and ‘--symbolic-link’, whereby the
destination file is never opened but rather is removed
unconditionally. Also see the description of
‘--remove-destination’.
This option is independent of the ‘--interactive’ or ‘-i’ option:
neither cancels the effect of the other.
This option is ignored when the ‘--no-clobber’ or ‘-n’ option is
also used.
‘-H’
If a command line argument specifies a symbolic link, then copy the
file it points to rather than the symbolic link itself. However,
copy (preserving its nature) any symbolic link that is encountered
via recursive traversal.
‘-i’
‘--interactive’
When copying a file other than a directory, prompt whether to
overwrite an existing destination file. The ‘-i’ option overrides
a previous ‘-n’ option.
‘-l’
‘--link’
Make hard links instead of copies of non-directories.
‘-L’
‘--dereference’
Follow symbolic links when copying from them. With this option,
‘cp’ cannot create a symbolic link. For example, a symlink (to
regular file) in the source tree will be copied to a regular file
in the destination tree.
‘-n’
‘--no-clobber’
Do not overwrite an existing file. The ‘-n’ option overrides a
previous ‘-i’ option. This option is mutually exclusive with ‘-b’
or ‘--backup’ option.
‘-P’
‘--no-dereference’
Copy symbolic links as symbolic links rather than copying the files
that they point to. This option affects only symbolic links in the
source; symbolic links in the destination are always followed if
possible.
‘-p’
‘--preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST]’
Preserve the specified attributes of the original files. If
specified, the ATTRIBUTE_LIST must be a comma-separated list of one
or more of the following strings:
‘mode’
Preserve the file mode bits and access control lists.
‘ownership’
Preserve the owner and group. On most modern systems, only
users with appropriate privileges may change the owner of a
file, and ordinary users may preserve the group ownership of a
file only if they happen to be a member of the desired group.
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --41%------------------
‘timestamps’
Preserve the times of last access and last modification, when
possible. On older systems, it is not possible to preserve
these attributes when the affected file is a symbolic link.
However, many systems now provide the ‘utimensat’ function,
which makes it possible even for symbolic links.
‘links’
Preserve in the destination files any links between
corresponding source files. Note that with ‘-L’ or ‘-H’, this
option can convert symbolic links to hard links. For example,
$ mkdir c; : > a; ln -s a b; cp -aH a b c; ls -i1 c
74161745 a
74161745 b
Note the inputs: ‘b’ is a symlink to regular file ‘a’, yet the
files in destination directory, ‘c/’, are hard-linked. Since
‘-a’ implies ‘--no-dereference’ it would copy the symlink, but
the later ‘-H’ tells ‘cp’ to dereference the command line
arguments where it then sees two files with the same inode
number. Then the ‘--preserve=links’ option also implied by
‘-a’ will preserve the perceived hard link.
Here is a similar example that exercises ‘cp’’s ‘-L’ option:
$ mkdir b c; (cd b; : > a; ln -s a b); cp -aL b c; ls -i1 c/b
74163295 a
74163295 b
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --49%------------------
‘context’
Preserve SELinux security context of the file, or fail with
full diagnostics.
‘xattr’
Preserve extended attributes of the file, or fail with full
diagnostics. If ‘cp’ is built without xattr support, ignore
this option. If SELinux context, ACLs or Capabilities are
implemented using xattrs, they are preserved implicitly by
this option as well, i.e., even without specifying
‘--preserve=mode’ or ‘--preserve=context’.
‘all’
Preserve all file attributes. Equivalent to specifying all of
the above, but with the difference that failure to preserve
SELinux security context or extended attributes does not
change ‘cp’’s exit status. In contrast to ‘-a’, all but
‘Operation not supported’ warnings are output.
Using ‘--preserve’ with no ATTRIBUTE_LIST is equivalent to
‘--preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps’.
In the absence of this option, the permissions of existing
destination files are unchanged. Each new file is created with the
mode of the corresponding source file minus the set-user-ID,
set-group-ID, and sticky bits as the create mode; the operating
system then applies either the umask or a default ACL, possibly
resulting in a more restrictive file mode. *Note File
permissions::.
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --56%------------------
‘--no-preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST’
Do not preserve the specified attributes. The ATTRIBUTE_LIST has
the same form as for ‘--preserve’.
‘--parents’
Form the name of each destination file by appending to the target
directory a slash and the specified name of the source file. The
last argument given to ‘cp’ must be the name of an existing
directory. For example, the command:
cp --parents a/b/c existing_dir
copies the file ‘a/b/c’ to ‘existing_dir/a/b/c’, creating any
missing intermediate directories.
‘-R’
‘-r’
‘--recursive’
Copy directories recursively. By default, do not follow symbolic
links in the source unless used together with the ‘--link’ (‘-l’)
option; see the ‘--archive’ (‘-a’), ‘-d’, ‘--dereference’ (‘-L’),
‘--no-dereference’ (‘-P’), and ‘-H’ options. Special files are
copied by creating a destination file of the same type as the
source; see the ‘--copy-contents’ option. It is not portable to
use ‘-r’ to copy symbolic links or special files. On some non-GNU
systems, ‘-r’ implies the equivalent of ‘-L’ and ‘--copy-contents’
for historical reasons. Also, it is not portable to use ‘-R’ to
copy symbolic links unless you also specify ‘-P’, as POSIX allows
implementations that dereference symbolic links by default.
‘--reflink=WHEN]’
Perform a lightweight, copy-on-write (COW) copy, if supported by
the file system. Once it has succeeded, beware that the source and
destination files share the same disk data blocks as long as they
remain unmodified. Thus, if a disk I/O error affects data blocks
of one of the files, the other suffers the same fate.
The WHEN value can be one of the following:
‘always’
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --67%------------------
The default behavior: if the copy-on-write operation is not
supported then report the failure for each file and exit with
a failure status.
‘auto’
If the copy-on-write operation is not supported then fall back
to the standard copy behavior.
This option is overridden by the ‘--link’, ‘--symbolic-link’ and
‘--attributes-only’ options, thus allowing it to be used to
configure the default data copying behavior for ‘cp’. For example,
with the following alias, ‘cp’ will use the minimum amount of space
supported by the file system.
alias cp='cp --reflink=auto --sparse=always'
‘--remove-destination’
Remove each existing destination file before attempting to open it
(contrast with ‘-f’ above).
‘--sparse=WHEN’
A “sparse file” contains “holes”—a sequence of zero bytes that does
not occupy any physical disk blocks; the ‘read’ system call reads
these as zeros. This can both save considerable disk space and
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --74%------------------
increase speed, since many binary files contain lots of consecutive
zero bytes. By default, ‘cp’ detects holes in input source files
via a crude heuristic and makes the corresponding output file
sparse as well. Only regular files may be sparse.
The WHEN value can be one of the following:
‘auto’
The default behavior: if the input file is sparse, attempt to
make the output file sparse, too. However, if an output file
exists but refers to a non-regular file, then do not attempt
to make it sparse.
‘always’
For each sufficiently long sequence of zero bytes in the input
file, attempt to create a corresponding hole in the output
file, even if the input file does not appear to be sparse.
This is useful when the input file resides on a file system
that does not support sparse files (for example, ‘efs’ file
systems in SGI IRIX 5.3 and earlier), but the output file is
on a type of file system that does support them. Holes may be
created only in regular files, so if the destination file is
of some other type, ‘cp’ does not even try to make it sparse.
‘never’
Never make the output file sparse. This is useful in creating
a file for use with the ‘mkswap’ command, since such a file
must not have any holes.
‘--strip-trailing-slashes’
Remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument. *Note
Trailing slashes::.
‘-s’
‘--symbolic-link’
Make symbolic links instead of copies of non-directories. All
source file names must be absolute (starting with ‘/’) unless the
destination files are in the current directory. This option merely
results in an error message on systems that do not support symbolic
links.
‘-S SUFFIX’
‘--suffix=SUFFIX’
Append SUFFIX to each backup file made with ‘-b’. *Note Backup
options::.
‘-t DIRECTORY’
‘--target-directory=DIRECTORY’
Specify the destination DIRECTORY. *Note Target directory::.
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --88%------------------
‘-T’
‘--no-target-directory’
Do not treat the last operand specially when it is a directory or a
symbolic link to a directory. *Note Target directory::.
‘-u’
‘--update’
Do not copy a non-directory that has an existing destination with
the same or newer modification time. If time stamps are being
preserved, the comparison is to the source time stamp truncated to
the resolutions of the destination file system and of the system
calls used to update time stamps; this avoids duplicate work if
several ‘cp -pu’ commands are executed with the same source and
destination. If ‘--preserve=links’ is also specified (like with
‘cp -au’ for example), that will take precedence. Consequently,
depending on the order that files are processed from the source,
newer files in the destination may be replaced, to mirror hard
links in the source.
‘-v’
‘--verbose’
Print the name of each file before copying it.
‘-x’
‘--one-file-system’
-----Info: (coreutils.info.gz)cp invocation, 389 líneas --95%------------------
Skip subdirectories that are on different file systems from the one
that the copy started on. However, mount point directories _are_
copied.
‘-Z’
‘--context=CONTEXT]’
Without a specified CONTEXT, adjust the SELinux security context
according to the system default type for destination files,
similarly to the ‘restorecon’ command. The long form of this
option with a specific context specified, will set the context for
newly created files only. With a specified context, if both
SELinux and SMACK are disabled, a warning is issued. This option
is mutually exclusive with the ‘--preserve=context’ option, and
overrides the ‘--preserve=all’ and ‘-a’ options.
An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value
indicates failure.

como habéis podido observar nos va diciendo todo detallado, incluso el porcentaje de líneas que tiene de información y el porcentaje que llevamos leído
espero que os sea de utilidad.
toda la información está sacada de la terminal de mi sistema del comando info e info cp, os animos a que lo probeis
y podais ver como se manejan los comandos en linux.
