cp

OS/161 Reference Manual

Name

cp - copy files

Synopsis

/bin/cp oldfile newfile

Description

cp copies the file oldfile to the file newfile, overwriting newfile if it already exists.

cp supports no options.

Note that cp does not support the Unix idiom cp file1 file2 ... destination-dir to copy a number of files at once. In particular, cp foo bar/ will fail, probably with "Is a directory".

Requirements

cp uses the following syscalls:

• open
• read
• write
• close
• _exit

cp should function properly once the basic system calls assignment is completed.
