I am assuming this is safe (it is in POSIX), > but please raise hand if that is not a case for you. Solaris[1] has two different "cp"s[2]. From cp(1): [...] [/usr/bin/cp] does not fail if unable to preserve extended attributes, modification and access time, or permission modes. [...] [/usr/xpg4/bin/cp] does not fail if unable to preserve extended attributes. If unable to duplicate the modification and access time or the permission modes, cp prints a diagnostic message to stderr and return a non-zero exit status. There is yet an other difference when -@ is specified. The complete man page can be found at docs.sun.com[2].
