doppel
======

**doppel** copies files or directories to a destination (a file,
directory, or archive). Think of it as the offspring of
`install(1) <http://linux.die.net/man/1/install>`__ and
`tar(1) <http://linux.die.net/man/1/tar>`__.

Usage
-----

::

   doppel [OPTION]... SOURCE... DEST

To copy files or directories, just list the sources as arguments
followed by the destination: ``doppel src1 src2 dst``. By default, if
only one source is specified, it is copied *onto* the destination; if
multiple sources are specified, they are copied *into* the destination.
This default can be explicitly specified with ``-o/--onto`` or
``-i/--into``, respectively.

If the destination requires administrator access to write to, doppel
will try to detect this an automatically provide a ``sudo`` (or
equivalent) prompt before copying.

*Note:* Unlike *install(1)*, doppel copies relative symlinks as symlinks
by default. To adjust this behavior, you can use the ``--symlink``
option, described below.

Options
-------

-C, –directory=DIR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change to directory ``DIR`` before resolving paths of source files.

-f, –format=FMT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the format of the output archive; one of: ``tar``, ``gzip``,
``bzip2``, or ``zip``. If this option is specified, ``--into`` is
implied. If not set, source files will be copied normally, and no
archive will be created.

-i, –into
~~~~~~~~~

Copy sources into directory ``DEST``.

-m, –mode=MODE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set the file permissions to ``MODE`` (an octal) when copying. Note: this
has no effect when ``--format=zip``.

-N, –full-name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When copying, use the full name of each source file as specified on the
command line instead of just the tail. This behavior is similar to
`tar(1) <http://linux.die.net/man/1/tar>`__.

-o, –onto
~~~~~~~~~

Copy a single source onto file or directory ``DEST``.

-p, –parents
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Automatically create parent directories for ``DEST`` as needed.

-P, –dest-prefix=DIR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A prefix to add to the paths of destination files. This only applies
when using ``--format``.

-r, –recursive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Recursively copy source directories to the destination.

-S, –sudo=WHEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before copying, elevate with ``sudo`` (or your platform’s equivalent).
``WHEN`` is one of ``always``, ``auto`` (the default), or ``never``. If
``auto``, doppel will attempt to determine automatically if ``sudo``
would be needed before performing the copy.

–symlink=WHEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Copy symlinks as links. ``WHEN`` is one of ``always``, ``relative`` (the
default), or ``never``. If ``relative``, only symlinks with relative
targets will be copied as symlinks; those with absolute targets will be
copied as regular files.

@file
~~~~~

Read options from ``file`` and use them when executing.

–help
~~~~~

Display a help message and exit.

–version
~~~~~~~~

Output version information and exit.
