The s6-hiercopy program

+ +

+s6-hiercopy copies a directory structure recursively. +

+ +

Interface

+ +
+     s6-hiercopy source destination
+
+ + + +

Notes

+ +

+ Copying files and browsing through directories is one of Unix's +weakest points, and s6-hiercopy is not meant to work around +the problem; it's only a quick hack that I needed to boot my embedded +platform. I originally planned to write the ultimate cp utility, +portable and reliable and featureful and everything - while needing +approximately a hundred times less resources than GNU cp does, +of course. But I eventually dropped the idea: it's just impossible to +design, much less write, such a utility. +
