-p Reads the standard input to obtain a list of path names of files.
-c Read or write header information in ASCII character form for portability.
-d Creates directories as needed.
-u Copy unconditionally (normally, an older file will not replace a newer file with the same name).
-m Retain previous file modification time. This option is ineffective on directories that are being copied.
-v Verbose.Print a list of file names.
