how to copy a file from one directory to another in unix code example

Example 1: linux copy

# Linux - Bash

# syntax:
# cp [option(s)] <source-filepath> <destination-filepath>

# example-1 (fundamental - no options):
cp "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt" "C:\Users\hosts.txt"

# example-2 (fundamental - with options):
cp -nR "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" "C:\Users"

# + ------ + ------------------------------------------------------- +
# | OPTION |  DESCRIPTION                                            |
# + ------ + ------------------------------------------------------- +
# |   -a   | archive files                                           |
# |   -f   | force copy by removing the destination file if needed   |
# |   -i   | interactive - ask before overwrite                      |
# |   -l   | link files instead of copy                              |
# |   -L   | follow symbolic links                                   |
# |   -n   | no file overwrite                                       |
# |   -R   | recursive copy (including hidden files)                 |
# + ------ + ------------------------------------------------------- +
