the user and primary group at the destination. For example, files copied to a
container are created with `UID:GID` of the root user. Files copied to the local
machine are created with the `UID:GID` of the user which invoked the `docker cp`
command. If you specify the `-L` option, `docker cp` follows any symbolic link
command. However, if you specify the `-a` option, `docker cp` sets the ownership
to the user and primary group at the source.
If you specify the `-L` option, `docker cp` follows any symbolic link
in the `SRC_PATH`. `docker cp` does *not* create parent directories for
`DEST_PATH` if they do not exist.
