cp.py(1)¶

Name¶

cp.py - Copy a file or directory

SYNOPSIS¶

cp.py [OPTIONS] SRC DST

DESCRIPTION¶

cp.py copies a source file or directory to a destination. If dst is a directory, then a file with the same name as the original will be placed within the directory. If src is a directory, you should specify –recursive as this will allow the directory to be copied in full.

This is a simplified clone of the well-known cp command. Not all options for the original will be available for this command.
