Hi all, I just found that cp behaves differently compared to native cp if the dst file is a symlink. In that case the symlink is replaced by by the src file. Is this intended behaviour?
8<--- # touch foo # ln -sf foo bar # echo hello >hello # ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 31 09:53 bar -> foo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 31 09:53 foo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jan 31 09:53 hello # cp hello bar # ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jan 31 09:53 bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 31 09:53 foo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jan 31 09:53 hello # busybox BusyBox v1.20.2 (2012-12-24 14:03:26 CET) multi-call binary. ..... 8<--- On a Debian machine the result looks like that: 8<--- root@debian:/tmp/test# ls -l insgesamt 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 31.
