src/bin/cp: cp.1
Log Message:
>From patch by Bug Hunting:
- bump the manpage's date (because of the next change);
- note that cp(1) does not preserve hard links (even with `-R'),
and refer to pax(1) there as well as in the `SEE ALSO' section
for such functionality (this change is based upon a similar note
in FreeBSD's version of the manpage);
- change a wording, for more overall consistency.
