The man page is also wrong. It describes 'cp -p' is the same as 'cp --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps'. This is correct. However, it also describes 'cp -a', the same as 'cp -dpR'. This is incorrect. It should actually be 'cp -dpPR' which should be 'cp -dPR --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps,context,links', which is obviously incorrect with the initial -p.
