cp: omitting directory

2009-08-08

CLI, Linux, misadventures, Questions / Wanted, todo, try harder, Usability

The simple way to reproduce this is:

\mkdir  source
\cp     source  target

It’s a pretty simple request. I want to copy a directory. I want to copy and not create the directory. I don’t want any of the contents (cp -r), I just want the container itself, without using mkdir. I don’t want to diddle around with the contents of the directory (moving them around) and then do cp -r. I want to copy the container because I want to match the permissions. I don’t want to separately use other commands to sync permissions:

\chmod  --reference=source  target
\chown  --reference=source  target

Why can’t cp do this? Oh right, it’s GNU .. so it sucks.

Philosophy in the Flesh - (1999 book), by Lakoff, Johnson image

To read

This book is mind blowing. I think the best description I can give of what it’s topic and goals are is to present the first chapter, in full. From here I think anyone interested in the subject will understand fully where this book is going and the intentions of the authors.

Properly titled Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought
By George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.
ISBN-10 0-465-05674-1
TODO – The various Wikipedia topics would need references to cognitive philosophy as a contraindication to the various topics, and in those topics to specifically cite passages in the introduction in this book.
TODO – Finish the linking.
