<h4 align=center>OS/161 Reference Manual</h4>

|
<h3>Name</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
cp - copy files
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Synopsis</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>/bin/cp</tt> <em>oldfile</em> <em>newfile</em>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>cp</tt> copies the file <em>oldfile</em> to the file <em>newfile</em>,
|
|
overwriting <em>newfile</em> if it already exists.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>cp</tt> supports no options.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that <tt>cp</tt> does <em>not</em> support the Unix idiom
|
|
<tt>cp file1 file2 ... destination-dir</tt> to copy a number of files
|
|
at once. In particular, <tt>cp foo bar/</tt> will fail, probably with
|
|
"Is a directory".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Requirements</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>cp</tt> uses the following syscalls:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><A HREF=../syscall/open.html>open</A>
|
|
<li><A HREF=../syscall/read.html>read</A>
|
|
<li><A HREF=../syscall/write.html>write</A>
|
|
<li><A HREF=../syscall/close.html>close</A>
|
|
<li><A HREF=../syscall/_exit.html>_exit</A>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>cp</tt> should function properly once the basic system calls
|
|
assignment is completed.
|
|
</p>
