Sorry for being dense. Not sure I understand exactly what this does. Can
someone explain this...?

 -f    For each existing destination pathname, remove it and create a new
           file, without prompting for confirmation regardless of its
permissions.

Doesn't cp do this by default unless you use -i or -n ...which this
overrides?

Thanks :)

All My Best,
Jeffrey
