By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude |
| |
|
189 |
heuristic and the corresponding DEST file is made sparse as |
| |
|
190 |
well. That is the behavior selected by |
| |
|
191 |
__--sparse__=''auto''. Specify |
| |
|
192 |
__--sparse__=''always'' to create a sparse DEST file |
| |
|
193 |
whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of |
| |
|
194 |
zero bytes. Use __--sparse__=''never'' to inhibit |
| |
|
195 |
creation of sparse files. |
| |
|
196 |
|
| |
|
197 |
|
| |
|

The backup suffix is `~', unless set with __--suffix__ or |
| |
|
199 |
SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be |
| |
|
200 |
selected via the __--backup__ option or through the |
| |
|
201 |
VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the |
| |
|
202 |
values: |
| |
|
203 |
|
| |
|
204 |
|
| |
|
205 |
none, off |
| |
|
206 |
|
| |
|
207 |
|
| |
|
208 |
never make backups (even if __--backup__ is |
| |
|
209 |
given) |
| |
|
210 |
|
| |
|
211 |
|
| |
|
212 |
numbered, t |
| |
|
213 |
|
| |
|
214 |
|
| |
|
215 |
make numbered backups |
| |
|
216 |
|
| |
|
217 |
|
| |
|
218 |
existing, nil |
| |
|
219 |
|
| |
|
220 |
|
| |
|
221 |
numbered if numbered backups exist, simple |
| |
|
222 |
otherwise |
| |
|
223 |
|
| |
|
224 |
|
| |
|
225 |
simple, never |
| |
|
226 |
|
| |
|
227 |
|
| |
|
228 |
always make simple backups |
| |
|
229 |
|
| |
|
230 |
|
| |
|
231 |
As a special case, cp makes a backup of SOURCE when the |
| |
|
232 |
force and backup options are given and SOURCE and DEST are |
| |
|
233 |
the same name for an existing, regular file. |
