```	   
The following options are available:

-f      
	Do not prompt for confirmation before overwriting the destination path.  (The -f option overrides previous -n options.)

-n      
	Do not overwrite an existing file.  (The -n option overrides previous -f options.)

-v      
	Cause cp to be verbose, showing files after they are copied.

--preserve--links
   Reserve links when copy links
```
