Usage

Background: https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/fuc/blob/master/README.md

Copy a file:

console $ cpz from to

Copy a directory:

console $ cpz from_dir to_dir

Overwrite existing files:

console $ cpz -f from existing

Flip the argument order (for better composability with other commands for example):

console $ cpz -t to_first from

Force the source files to be copied into the destination by making the path look like a directory:

console,ignore $ cpz from dest/

More details:

``console $ cpz --help A zippy alternative tocp`, a tool to copy files and directories

Usage: cpz[EXE] [OPTIONS] ...

Arguments: ... The file(s) or directory(ies) to be copied

      If multiple files are specified, they will be copied into the target destination rather
      than to it. The same is true of directory names (`foo/`, `.`, `..`): that is, `cpz a b/`
      places `a` inside `b` as opposed to `cpz a b` which makes `b` become `a`.

The copy destination

Options: -f, --force Overwrite existing files

-t, --reverse-args Reverse the argument order so that it becomes cpz <TO> <FROM>...

-h, --help Print help (use -h for a summary)

-V, --version Print version
