Clarify a sentence about the error handling of cp(1)'s -p option.
Addresses PR bin/40336.

branches: 1.45.12;
Document the version cp first appeared.
Bump date.

Add serial comma, use upper case for abbreviation, and remove apostrophe for plural.

In all man pages that say:

The -H, -L and -P options are ignored unless the -R option is
specified. In addition, these options override each other and the
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.

Add:

The default is as if the -P option had been specified.

branches: 1.42.2;
From patch by Bug Hunting:
- bump the manpage's date (because of the next change);
- note that cp(1) does not preserve hard links (even with `-R'),
and refer to pax(1) there as well as in the `SEE ALSO' section
for such functionality (this change is based upon a similar note
in FreeBSD's version of the manpage);
- change a wording, for more overall consistency.

branches: 1.41.2;
Adjust wording of previous and fix a couple grammar slipups/typos.

New sentence, new line. Remove trailing whitespace. Bump date for previous.

iExplain what happens to extended attriutes when -p is used.

Wording fixes from Ryo HAYASAKA, thanks.

Put -l compatibility note in STANDARDS section.

Add -l option to copy a tree as links.
Non-standard option similar to Gnutools cp(1)
Approved by core.

Use Fx.

document what -a is for

branches: 1.33.2;
Sort option descriptions, bump date for -a.

Say that -a is non-standard and -P is the default.

Add -a archive flag. from Aleksey Cheusov

Sync SYNOPSIS with usage() (correct location of -P).

branches: 1.29.10;
return functionality backed out yesterday after fixing the bug I had
introduced before. A regression test will be added to src/regress
shortly.

The last commit introduced a bug. Revert until that's found and fixed.

As suggested on tech-userlevel:
"-R" claims:
-R [...] Created directories have the same mode as the corre-
sponding source directory, unmodified
by the process' umask.

Make this actually true.

In addition, make '-P' (no symbolic links are followed) apply even if
'-R' is not specified. This allows users to overwrite symbolic links
with files and/or to copy symbolic links over a file without indirecting
through the link (ie a copy of a link turns the target into a link, not
a copy of the file pointed to by the source).

Sort options. Simplify macro usage. Use standard EXIT STATUS section.

Add and document -N: When used with -p, it will not copy the file flags.
PR 13645.

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.

For each, not Foreach; from Adrian Mrva. Begin new sentence on new line.

Drop trailing whitespace.

Add -v to SYNOPSIS, clean up STANDARDS a little. Also, bump date for -v.

Added a -v verbose option to the cp(1) command. Updated man page and utils as well. This applies to PR bin/16834. This change was approved by Christos.

Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.

Drop unnecessary .Pps.

Whitespace nits.

For commands and utilities, use EXIT STATUS rather than RETURN VALUES as
appropriate (and documented in mdoc(7)).

Add 'RETURN VALUE' section header.

branches: 1.14.10;
More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Many more to
come.

Fix bug where "cp -f" didn't work.
It's suppsed to remove the file and then copy, which it wasn't doing.
But no wait, it turns out that the described behaviour in the manual doesn't
agree with POSIX. So we change the above fix and the manual to "try copy, and
if fail, try remove, then copy".
Fix bug where "cp -R" didn't work on read-only directories:
It would make the directory, set the mode, and not be able to write files into it.
Don't bother mmap()ing files of zero length. Was a workaround for a bug in Rhapsody
mmap(), which didn't get along with such files, but makes sense anyway.
Fix race condition where "cp -p" would set the mod time of a file before close()ing
the file, which would update the mod time and therefore screw up the "-p" idea,
except, of course, while running in gdb, which sucked.
Add -f option to usage message in binary and man page. Already documented in man page.

Use .Nm "" instead of .Nm cp in SYNOPSIS.

all but the first .Nm in SYNOPSIS need to be spelt out. [bin/4256]

* getopt returns -1 not EOF
* cleanup use of .Nm in manpage

Use "utility" instead of "command". Modern definitions of these terms
are distinct (See POSIX.2 glossary).

A utility is a executable, script or shell builtin; while a command
can be any of those things plus lists, pipelines, compound commands
(if, for, while) and shell function definitions.
