|
/Y |

Examples, Notes and Instructions
The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD
environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless COPY
command is being executed from within a batch script.
To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).

Things that are different (by design, by accident or otherwise)
Syntax variations
The /V and /N switches were moved from after the source/destination
in NT to before the source/destination in 2K/XP/K3. In practice, the
switches are accepted in either position (before or after) on all four platforms (NT/2K/XP/K3).
