@strong{Deprecated: to be removed in 2008.}@*
Using @option{--reply=yes} makes @command{cp} act as if @samp{yes} were
given as a response to every prompt about a destination file. That effectively
cancels any preceding @option{--interactive} or @option{-i} option.
Specify @option{--reply=no} to make @command{cp} act as if @samp{no} were
given as a response to every prompt about a destination file.
Note that @option{--reply=no} has an effect only when mv would prompt
without @option{-i} or equivalent, i.e., when a destination file exists and is
not writable, standard input is a terminal, and no @option{-f} (or equivalent)
option is specified.
Specify @option{--reply=query} to make @command{cp} prompt the user
about each existing destination file.
