Commonly used UN*X commands: cp

Copying files is a very common task in UN*X, basic usage is:

	cp file1 file2
E.g.
	cp oldfile newfile	

Multiple files can also be copied with this command. In this case the destination must be a directory.

	cp file1 file2 newdirectory

This example will copy two files named "file1" and "file2" to a directory called "newdirectory".

The "-r" (recursive) flag can be used to copy complete directories as in this example:

	cp -r dir1 newdir

where the directory "dir1" with all of its contents (files and subdirectories) will be copied to the directory "newdir".

A design library in Cadence will correpond to a directory with the same name in your home directory. You can copy your design by using the cp command. The same functionality is provided by the Library Browser.
