[TUHS] Unix v1/v2 cp command

14 Jul 2014

...
   the cp command
seems different from all other versions, I'm not sure I
 understand it so I used the mv command instead which worked as expected. 
 I'm intrigued; in what way is it different? 
It seems that one must first cp a file to another file then do a mv to
actually put it into a different directory:

e.g. while in /usr/src

as ctr0.s
cp a.out ctr0.o
mv ctr0.o /usr/lib

...rather than trying to just "cp a.out /usr/lib/ctr0.o"
