The cp command in Unix and Unix-like operating systems is a standard utility used to copy files and directories. It creates duplicates of the specified source files or directories at a specified destination. The command supports various options to modify its behavior, such as preserving file attributes, copying directories recursively, and prompting for confirmation before overwriting. As a fundamental tool in file management, cp is widely used in shell scripting and system administration for tasks like backups and file organization.
