From where i can find the source code of cp command?

Question

See, I want the cp command on Android but it doesn't exist so I want to cross compile the source of cp.

Linux has cp command, then from where can I find the code of cp?

Solution 1

cp is part of coreutils. There are also different implementations, for example busybox.

It's very strange that there is no cp on android. Have you looked thoroughly?

Solution 2

Go to this site coreutils Download the latest archive and go to /src/ there you can find the cp.c file(and many more)

Solution 3

http://coreutils.sourcearchive.com/documentation/7.4/cp_8c-source.html

Solution 4

It is missing on my android as well.

You can work around by using:

  cat source > dest

Solution 5

I believe what you want is in here

From that foram i can download source from here

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.tar.gz

In the /src directory after extracting it.

and latest version of core utils can be found here
