copy "cp" command how distinquish upper/lower case

hello,

i thought this should work to specify that i want to "cp" all files no matter what the case, ie upper or lower, as i have 2 files called Makefile and mak

cp -i mak*

but apparently the -i isn't a valid option like it is with grep

thanks for any suggestions!

toupper - transliterate lower-case characters to upper-case SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h> int toupper(int c); DESCRIPTION
The toupper() function has as a domain a type int, the value of which is representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF.
