copy-rust

Reimplementation of the cp command in Rust.

A Rust implementation of a cp-like command with progress output, vibe coded.

Functionality

• Copy files
• Copy directories recursively (-r)
• Archive mode (-a) with metadata preservation
• Progress display in bytes or percent (-p)
• Overwrite controls (-f, -i, -n)
• Verbose output (-v)
• Preserve source path structure under destination (--parents)
• Symlink handling (-L, -P, -d)
• Remove destination before writing (--remove-destination)
• Built-in help and version flags (--help, --version)

Sample Usage

copy source.txt destination.txt
copy -r src_dir dst_dir
copy -a -p src_dir backup_dir
copy -n -v file.txt existing.txt
copy --parents ./path/to/file.txt ./out
copy -P symlink.txt copied_link.txt
copy --remove-destination new.txt existing.txt
