Hi, Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
- -a, --archive same as -dpPR\n\ + -a, --archive same as -dpR\n\ (To save the reader the looking up of -d, -p and -R, it might be useful to add after -dpR that this means --no-dereference --preserve=links,mode,ownership,timestamps --resursive. However, that might give a wrong idea about the meaning of -p.)
