im

im (from Latin imitari — to copy) copies files and directories. It is the core Vesper Linux replacement for GNU cp.

Usage

im [-r] [-v] SOURCE... DESTINATION

Flags

• -r — copy directories recursively.
• -v — verbose mode; print each file and directory path as it is copied.

Examples

Copy a single file:

im config.toml config.toml.bak

Recursively copy a directory:

im -r src/ backup/

Copy multiple files into an existing directory with verbose output:

im -v file1.txt file2.txt /tmp/
