    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.
