Cp (command)

cp is the name of the command used in Unix to copy files/folders into a folder/directory

For example, if you have a file named README.md, and you want to copy it into a directory called dir, you run cp README.md dir. Simple enough, right?

cp stands for CoPy.

This page was created because cp, outside of Unix, literally stands for (you know what), not because it also stands for Club Penguin for the game.
