NAME

cp − copy files

SYNOPSIS

cp [-b blocksize] [-c count] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION

Cp copies the contents of file1 to file2.  The -b flag specifies a blocksize for the transfer, if not specified the blocksize defaults to 512 bytes.  For raw devices, the blocksize should be an integral multiple of the device physical record length.  The -c flag specifies a maximum byte count to be transferred, if not specified the copy terminates on EOF on file1.  Cp indicates its progress by printing a "." for every record transferred.
