-f, --silent, --quiet

-v, --verbose

--dereference
affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default),
rather than the symbolic link itself

only on systems that can change the ownership of a symlink)
--no-preserve-root

--preserve-root

--reference=RFILE

The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R
option is also specified. If more than one is specified, only the
final one takes effect.
-H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory,
traverse it
-L traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered
-P do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
--help display this help and exit
--version
