+others are ignored. +If an error occurs during this copy, a message is displayed and +.Nm +skips the other extended attributes for that file. +.It Fl R +If +.Ar source_file +designates a directory, +.Nm +copies the directory and the entire subtree connected at that point. +This option also causes symbolic links to be copied, rather than +followed, and for +.Nm +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's umask. +.Pp +Note that +.Nm +copies hard linked files as separate files. +If you need to preserve hard links, consider using a utility like +.Xr pax 1 +instead. +.It Fl v +Causes +.Nm +to be verbose, showing files as they are copied. +.El +.Pp +For each destination file that already exists, its contents are +overwritten if permissions allow, but its mode, user ID, and group +ID are unchanged. +.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 +.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), as well as the +.Fl P +flag cause symbolic links to be followed as described above. +The +.Fl H +and +.Fl L +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. +The default is as if the +.Fl P +option had been specified. +.Sh EXIT STATUS +.Ex -std cp +.Sh COMPATIBILITY +Historic versions of the +.Nm +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 FIFOs. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr mv 1 , +.Xr pax 1 , +.Xr rcp 1 , +.Xr umask 2 , +.Xr fts 3 , +.Xr symlink 7 +.Sh STANDARDS +The +.Nm +utility is expected to be +.St -p1003.2 +compatible. +.Pp +The +.Fl a +and +.Fl l +flags are non-standard extensions. +They are intended to be compatible with the same options which +other implementations, namely GNU coreutils and +.Fx , +of this utility have. +.Pp +The +.Fl v +option is an extension to +.St -p1003.2 . +.Sh HISTORY +A +.Nm +utility appeared in +.At v1 . |
