The syntax is I<exactly> the same. The behavior is nearly the same as well: as of version 2.15, C<cp> will preserve the source file's permission bits like the shell utility -C<cp(1)> would do, while C<copy> uses the default permissions for the -target file (which may depend on the process' C<umask>, file -ownership, inherited ACLs, etc.).

That is, if the +destination file already exists, C<cp> will leave its permissions +unchanged; otherwise the permissions are taken from the source file +and modified by the C<umask>. If an error occurs in setting permissions, C<cp> will return 0, regardless of whether the file was successfully copied. |
