This page describes the GNU/Linux version of cp.
Description

cp myfile.txt myfilecopy.txtLike many core Linux commands, if the cp command is successful, by default, no output is displayed.
To view output when files are copied, use the -v (verbose) option.
By default, cp will overwrite files without asking. If the destination file name already exists, its data is destroyed. To be prompted for confirmation before files are overwritten, use the -i (interactive) option.
