- BrandonM 16y agoBut you can also do cp [args] -t [destination folder] [list of things] The same is true of mv. This is useful if you are piping filenames to xargs.
- Nick_C 16y agoThanks! I always wondered what was the purpose of -t. Never occurred to me it was to allow you to reverse the order of args.
