How to Fix: How to let 'cp' command don't fire an error when source file does not exist?
Silent cp command failure on Mac OS X.
📋 Table of Contents
You are getting this error because the cp command is set to fail non-existence of source files. This behavior can be changed by using the -f flag or the --force flag. However, if you want a silent failure where only the header file is copied and not the entire directory, you can use the find command instead.

- Method 1: Using the cp command with the -f flag
\u2713 Method 1:
- Step 1: Run the following command to copy all .h files in the ./src directory and its subdirectories, but do not fail if a file does not exist.
\u2713 Method 2: Using the find command
- Step 1: Run the following command to copy all .h files in the ./src directory and its subdirectories, but do not fail if a file does not exist.
\u2713 Conclusion
To achieve a silent failure where only the header files are copied, you can use either of these methods. The cp command with the -f flag or the find command will allow you to copy only the .h files without failing the entire build script.
