symbolic links (soft links) should be preserved

happy10319Jun 27 2018 — edited Jun 29 2018

Hi,

On Oracle Linux 6.

I want to:

ensure that the symbolic links (soft links) are preserved during the copying operation.

What are cp options to use?

I see in man:

-H follow command-line symbolic links in source

-L always follow symbolic links in source

Which one do I need?

What are the tar options for this?

Thanks
