Completed rm, cp, and mv Commands The 'rm', 'cp', and 'mv' commands have been completed. 'rm' and 'cp' now support a -r flag for recursive operations, and all three support a '-v' (verbose) flag which prints the file names as they are operated upon. The only remaining addition is a -c (clone) option to 'cp' which keeps date stamps and file permissions intact. I'll add this as soon as I figure out how. I would like to make a request here. The unix flag for preserving date stamps, permissions, etc. on the cp command is -p (for preserve). Unless you are following another convention with your flag naming, it would be nice to see this flag as -p for those of us who work on unix a lot as well. Thanks for a great shell.
