---------------------------------------
Hi Yi,
The usage message is a little bit confusing. At first it was unclear to me that
-ptopx was really -p with options for t, o, p, and x. I would if we could make
this a little clearer by saying something like this instead?
public static final String USAGE = "[-f] [-p | -p[t|o|p|x]] <src> ... <dst>";
or maybe
public static final String USAGE = "[-f] [-p | -p[topx]] <src> ... <dst>";
and then in the text:
+ "must be a directory. Passing -p preserves status\n" +
+ "([topx]) (timestamps, ownership, permission, XATTR). \n" +
+ "If -p is specified with no <arg>, then preserves " +
+ "timestamps, ownership, permission. Passing -f\n" +
Also, s/XATTR/XAttr/.
> Copy command with preserve option should handle Xattrs

>
> The design docs for Xattrs stated that we handle preserve options with copy
> commands
> From doc:
> Preserve option of commands like “cp -p” shell command and “distcp -p” should
> work on XAttrs.
> In the case of source fs supports XAttrs but target fs does not support,
> XAttrs will be ignored
> with warning message
