CPL (COPY_LINK) -- Copy a link.
usage:  CPL linkname [target_pathname] [-C|-R] [-CHN] [-LL] [-LDL]   {CL}


FORMAT

  CPL linkname [target_pathname] ... [options]

  CPL copies a linkname to the target object.


ARGUMENTS

  Multiple linkname/target_pathname pairs and wildcarding are permitted.

  linkname
  (required)       Specify pathname of link to be copied.

  pathname
  (optional)       Specify target_pathname of the copied link.
                   Default if omitted: copy link into current working directory.


OPTIONS

  Default options are indicated by "(D)."

  -C          (D)  Create source link at target.  An error occurs if the target
                   link already exists.

  -R               Replace target with copy of source.

  -LL              List links copied.

  -LDL             List links deleted because of replacement (-R).

  -CHN             Change name of existing link with target_pathname before
                   copying.

  CPL uses the command line parser and so also accepts the standard
  command options listed in HELP CL.

  2. $ cpl //zorba/sys/print /sys -r      Copy the link "/sys/print" from the
                                           node whose entry directory is
                                           "zorba" to the local /sys directory,
                                           replacing any existing link.
