Explanation

In Unix/Linux systems, the 'man' command is used to display manual pages for commands. To get help about the 'cp' (copy) command, you would use 'man cp', which opens the manual page containing detailed information about usage, options, and examples. Options like 'help cp', 'cp ?', and '? cp' are not standard Unix help commands.
