                     12: cpdir copies source  directory hierarchy dir1 to target hierarchy
                     13: dir2, which is created if necessary.  Either hierarchy may strad-
                     14: dle device boundaries.
                     15: 
                     16: cpdir  preserves as  much as  possible  of the  source structure.
                     17: Files under dir1 go to identically named files under dir2.  Links
                     18: between source files are preserved as links between corresponding
                     19: target  files.  Preserved  source file  attributes  include mode,
                     20: subject to the user's file creation mask.  If the user is not the
                     21: superuser,  cpdir cannot  preserve the  owner, group,  and sticky
                     22: bits in the mode, and the invoking user owns all new files; under

                     24: peruser may  ``copy'' special nodes and  pipe nodes; cpdir copies
                     25: only  the facility,  not the  contents.   It also  preserves real
                     26: major and minor device numbers of special nodes.
                     27: 
                     28: If the  target file corresponding to a source  file exists and is
                     29: not a  directory, cpdir unlinks it  before copying.  This differs
                     30: from the action of cp.
                     31: 
                     32: cpdir recognizes the following options:
                     33: 
                     34: -aa   Give a verbose account on one line of the files copied.
                     35: 
                     36: -dd   Preserve the last-modified date instead of using the present
                     37:      date.
                     38: 
                     39: -ee   Print  error message and continue  execution after an error.
                     40:      The default action is to exit on any error.
                     41: 
                     42: -rr [_n]
                     43:      Descend no more than n levels in the source hierarchy.  Con-
                     44:      tents of dir1 are at level 1.  If missing, n defaults to 1.
                     45: 
                     46: -ss _n_a_m_e
                     47:      Suppress the copy of file name, which should be the pathname
                     48:      of the file relative to dir1.
                     49: 
                     50: -tt   Test only, make  no changes.  With this option, cpdir prints
                     51:      a report of all  errors (-e is implied), all unlinked target
                     52:      files, and other  useful information, including a summary of
                     53:      all external links into the target hierarchy that would have
                     54:      been broken had the unlinking actions been executed.
                     55: 
                     56: -uu    Update  regular files.   Copy  the source  only  if it  was
                     57:      created or altered more recently than the target file, or if
                     58:      the target does not exist.
                     59: 
                     60: -vv    Print a  verbose account  of its  activities.  cp  prints a
                     61:      file-by-file account of  its actions, in addition to the in-
