Untested, but should work, maybe I left out a few parameters of the
shell, check the language reference.
Note: cp is not a safe way to copy Mac files! It will strip resource
forks and metadata. Use ditto instead (see man ditto for details).
Actually, as of 10.4, nearly every command line tool now preserves
resource forks and HFS data. This includes, tar, cp, zip, etc.
