I'm using the cp command to copy files to another directory, and i'm being prompted to specify whether i want to cp -r or cp -R.

What's the difference? Also, I tried typing cp, but didn't understand the description of usage that came out. Is there any other documentation on this stuff?

Thanks,

Dharol

I always use cp -r (lowercase).

FYI, most UNIX commands have a manual or "man" page, and you can access them using:

man cp

In some cases they may not be so helpful, but in this case it sounds like you don't need "-R" (uppercase).
