Questions tagged [copy]

To copy is to create a duplicate of an object without destroying the original. Commonly seen in text editors that will let you copy some text and paste it somewhere else.

In computing, copy is related both to the command by which a duplicate of a specified entity is made, both in terms of its definition and content, as well as the resulting duplicate itself.
