NAME
  cp - copy files

SYNOPSIS
  cp [-f] [-i] source_file... target_file

DESCRIPTION
  The first synopsis form is denoted by two operands, neither of which are
  existing files of type directory. The cp utility shall copy the contents of
  source_file (or, if source_file is a file of type symbolic link, the contents
  of the file referenced by source_file) to the destination path named by
  target_file.

OPERANDS
  source_file  A pathname of a file to be copied. If a source_file operand is
               '-', it shall refer to a file named -; implementations shall not
               treat it as meaning standard input. target_file
  target_file  A pathname of an existing or nonexistent file, used for the
               output when a single file is copied. If a target_file operand is
               '-', it shall refer to a file named -; implementations shall not
               treat it as meaning standard output.

OPTIONS
  -f  If a file descriptor for a destination file cannot be obtained, as
      described in step 3.a.ii., attempt to unlink the destination file and
      proceed.
  -i  Write a prompt to standard error before copying to any existing non-
      directory destination file.

EXIT STATUS
  0   The utility executed successfully and all requested changes were made.
  >0  An error occurred.
