Nothing special is happening with that option. The documentation at that web page you were looking at is just behind the times. The best and most up to date source of documentation is the info pages installed on your system that came with the program. You should see that option documented there. info cp For reasons now lost to time someone decided to put all of the manual pages online on the gnu.org site. That sounds like a good thing. However, they put them in a different directory than the package pages. The pages you saw are /manual/fileutils and not /software/fileutils. Therefore the package maintainers do not have access to update those pages. Those manual pages are always old and out of date. This has come up for discussion a few times but has never been completely resolved.
