set series = usno
if ( ! -e ut1.${series} ) \cp -p ~/gg/tables/ut1.${series} .
I'm trying to grasp a script. I need to know that what cp -p command works in this script?
From the cp
manpage:
--preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,time‐
stamps), if possible additional attributes: context, links,
xattr, all
-p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
In other words, it will preserve more metadata than it would by default.
man cp
..it is described precisely there..also your script has many issues....man cp
:p
or--preserve
: preserve the specified attributes
