       _c_p_i_f  is  an auxiliary tool for use with _n_o_t_a_n_g_l_e(1) and _m_a_k_e(1).  _c_p_i_f
       compares its standard input to each of the named files, overwriting the
       file  if  the  comparison succeeds or if the named file does not exist.
       If neither --eeqq or --nnee is specified, the default is --nnee.  Typical  usage
       is in the following default rule, suitable for use in a Makefile.
