     CP(1)                                                       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.
