                        files. By default system buffer size is used.

                        is prompted about each file.

                        customize the installation.

  --help                Show this message and exit.

Why another tool?

Because I sometimes get Destination Path Too Long error when try to copy files from unix disks. Actually this is Explorer's issue that can not be fixed since 2016.
