Subject: bug#5947: [PATCH] cp: add an option to only copy the file attributes
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:34:35 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

From the NEWS of the attached patch:

"cp now accepts the --attributes-only option to not copy file data,
which is useful for efficiently modifying files."

For an example script that uses this option see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-03/msg00261.html

cheers,
Pádraig.
