Why not mv? cp won't work great for non-regular files.
To ensure that in the event of a failure the original file is unaffected.
in that case, mv doesn't affect the file not even its inode, it
affects the current directory, it's just a rename. A failing
rename just leaves things as they are. A failing cp may leave an
unfinished copy around.
Also note that cp may not preserve file attributes like
permissions, ACLs, ownership, time stamps... (see -p option for
some of those).
And mv will preserve file attributes?
