cp flags question
Posted: 2018/07/19 20:33:01
When copying a user's files on same partition\filesystem:
What is the difference between cp -af and cp -rpf?
From my understanding and man pages -a keeps all file settings including ownership, permissions,sl and includes recursive.
Why use -rp when it is covered in -a?
thanks ahead of time
