title: How to copy a file to multiple directories using the gnu cp command
body: <p>Is it possible to copy a single file to multiple directories using the cp command ?</p>
  
  <p>I tried the following , which did not work:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>cp file1 /foo/ /bar/
  cp file1 {/foo/,/bar}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know it's possible using a for loop, or find. But is it possible using the gnu cp command?</p>
