Ok, this should just be a alias of cp. So why not use cp instead?
copy
was a program written by Eric Roberts in the 1980s or earlier. It's meant to do roughly the same things is cp -ua
but was written before cp
necessarily had those options.
Usage: copy [-options] file1 file2
copy [-options] file ... directory
Options:
-f Force copies of everything, ignoring dates
-F Force copies even if source is a link
-l Follow links to their targets before copy
-v Verbose (indicate all copies)
-t Trace (don't execute, but verbosely say what would be done)
-R Remove files in target not in the source
-C Note files that would be removed with -R
-2 Force the "copy file1 file2" interpretation
-n Like -v, but don't make any copies
-0300 Source file timestamps are three hours earlier than local time
+0100 Source file timestamps are one hour later than local time
-gmt Source file timestamps are UCT
-uct Source file timestamps are UCT
-xfile (NO SPACE!) don't copy files or directories named `file'
-~ Don't copy files whose names end in ~
When type make error was reported : copy command not found.
What is the 'copy' command? Does it belong to a specified specified software? What is that? I don't think it is just a alias of cp.
Perhaps this is a low-level issue, but it does make me puzzled. I hope to add more explanation.
