Research direction

Reproduce the issue with ./coreutils cp -rfTv src des and consult the detailed test steps in issue 8867, linked from this report. Trace the cp verbose-output path for symbolic links and compare its behavior with the expected copy message; done means the message is displayed while the copy result remains correct.

Description

U - cp

run

./coreutils cp -rfTv src des

The copy result is correct,

but the symbolic link file copy message is not displayed in verbose mode.

I have recorded the detailed test steps in another topic.
