NAME
     cp - copy

SYNOPSIS
     cp file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
     The first file is copied onto the second.  The mode and own-
     er of the target file are preserved if it  already  existed;
     the mode of the source file is used otherwise.

     If  file2  is a directory, then the target file is a file in
     that directory with the file-name of file1.

     It is forbidden to copy a file onto itself.
