Description

xcp is a (partial) clone of the Unix 'cp' command. It is not intended as a full replacement, but as a companion utility with some more user-friendly feedback and some optimisations that make sense under certain tasks (see below).

Features: * Displays a progress-bar, both for directory and single file copies. This can be disabled with `--no-progress`. * On Linux it uses `copy_file_range` call to copy files. This is the most efficient method of file-copying under Linux; in particular it is filesystem-aware, and can massively speed-up copies on network mounts by performing the copy operations server-side. However, unlike `copy_file_range` sparse files are detected and handled appropriately. * Non-Linux Unix-like OSs (OS X, *BSD) are supported via fall-back operation (although sparse-files are not yet supported in this case). * Optionally understands `.gitignore` files to limit the copied directories. * Optimised for 'modern' systems (i.e. multiple cores, copious RAM, and solid-state disks, especially ones connected into the main system bus, e.g. M.2).
