Function description: copy a file or directory
Syntax: cp [parameter] source file directory target file or directory
This command is used to copy one or more files to the target directory.
Note:
The Cp command is used to copy files or directories. for example, if you specify more than two files or directories at the same time, and the final destination is an existing directory, then it copies all the previously specified files or directories to this directory. If multiple files or directories are specified at the same time, and the last destination is not an existing Directory, an error message is displayed.
Parameters:
-A or-archive: the effect of this parameter is the same as that of the "-dpR" parameter.
-B or-backup is deleted to overwrite the backup before the target file. a backup string is added at the end of the backup file.
-D or-no-dereference when a symbolic connection is copied, the target file or directory is also established as a symbolic connection and points to the original file working directory connected to the source file or directory.
-F or-force forcibly copies files or directories, whether or not the target file or directory already exists
-I or-interactive ask the user before overwriting existing files.
-L or-link establishes a hard connection to the source file instead of copying the file.
-P or -- preserve retains the properties of the source file or directory

-V or -- verbose displays the command execution process.
-V <备份方式> Or -- version-control = <备份方式> After you use the "-B" parameter to back up the target file, a backup string will be added at the end of the backup file. this string can be changed not only by the "-S" parameter, when you use the "-V" parameter to specify different backup methods, different backup strings are generated.
