Making a copy of a file
|
|
If you want to make an exact copy of the contents of a file,
figure out what you want to name the copy, and then type the
command
% cp oldname newname
where oldname is the name of the existing file
you want to copy. A new file will be created with the name
newname and the same contents as the original.
