NetBSD/FreeBSD/DragonFly/OSX's cp(1) with "-v" print file names without the single quotes, which might indeed be more appealing to the eye: $ touch a b; mkdir c $ cp -v a b c a -> c/a b -> c/b > +.It Fl v > +Explain what is being done. A more compendious option description for bin/cp/cp.1 would be: .It Fl v Display the source and destination of each copied file. The above 2 suggestions make sense to the proposed mv(1) patch too, modulo s/copied/moved/. Kind regards, Job
