USAGE: cp source destination This command will allow you to copy files from source to destination. The source file must exist, the destination may or may not exist at the time of the copy. If the destination does not exist one will be created, if the destination does exist, at the time of the copy it will be overwritten. If you do not supply a full path name cp will assume that the files will be in your current directory. cp wizroom.c workroom.c I will now have a copy of wizroom.c named workroom.c in the current directory. cp /domains/std/wizroom.c /wiz/zifnab/workroom.c I now have a copy of wizroom.c in my home directory named workroom.c
