-.TP
-\fB\-\-backup\fR[=\fICONTROL\fR]
-make a backup of each existing destination file

-.TP
-\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-no\-target\-directory\fR
-treat DEST as a normal file
-.TP
-\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-update\fR
-copy only when the SOURCE file is newer
-than the destination file or when the
-destination file is missing
-.TP
-\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
-explain what is being done
-.TP
-\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-one\-file\-system\fR
-stay on this file system
-.TP
-\fB\-\-help\fR
-display this help and exit
-.TP
-\fB\-\-version\fR
-output version information and exit
-.PP
-By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude heuristic and the
-corresponding DEST file is made sparse as well. That is the behavior
-selected by \fB\-\-sparse\fR=\fIauto\fR. Specify \fB\-\-sparse\fR=\fIalways\fR to create a sparse DEST
-file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes.
-Use \fB\-\-sparse\fR=\fInever\fR to inhibit creation of sparse files.
-.PP
-When \fB\-\-reflink\fR[=\fIalways\fR] is specified, perform a lightweight copy, where the
-data blocks are copied only when modified. If this is not possible the copy
-fails, or if \fB\-\-reflink\fR=\fIauto\fR is specified, fall back to a standard copy.
-.PP
-The backup suffix is '~', unless set with \fB\-\-suffix\fR or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
-The version control method may be selected via the \fB\-\-backup\fR option or through
-the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
-.TP
-none, off
-never make backups (even if \fB\-\-backup\fR is given)
-.TP
-numbered, t
-make numbered backups
-.TP
-existing, nil
-numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
-.TP
-simple, never
-always make simple backups
-.PP
-As a special case, cp makes a backup of SOURCE when the force and backup
-options are given and SOURCE and DEST are the same name for an existing,
-regular file.
