- Replace the destination file with the one from the source directory:
`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}}`
- Add files to the destination directory instead of replacing existing files:
`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}} /a`
- Interactively copy multiple files, with a prompt before replacing or adding a destination file:
`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}} /p`
- Replace even read only files:
`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}} /r`
- Wait for you to insert a disk before it replaces files (originally to allow inserting a floppy disk):
`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}} /w`
- Replace all files in subdirectories of the destination:
`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}} /s`

`replace {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/destination}} /u`
