It is in the info page, and apparently deprecated:
`--reply=HOW'
*Deprecated: to be removed in 2008.*
Using `--reply=yes' makes `cp' act as if `yes' were given as a
response to every prompt about a destination file. That
effectively cancels any preceding `--interactive' or `-i' option.
Specify `--reply=no' to make `cp' act as if `no' were given as a
response to every prompt about a destination file. Specify
`--reply=query' to make `cp' prompt the user about each existing
destination file.
