cp without maintaining the soucre directory tree hierarchy
Hi guys.

I'm willing to copy a specific file system hierarchy, but I would not like to maintain the directory tree organization.


For example:

Let's say /a/b/c is the fs I'm wanting to copy to my destination,
and that c is a directory with 30 files, 10 on /a/b/c , 10 on a/b/c/c1 and 10 on a/b/c/c2 , I'd like to have all files from inside /a/b/c into my destination, but all of them scattered within a/b/c/ only , not obeying to the source directory tree (I wouldn't, hence, have the directories c1 nor c2, but I would have 30 files)

more clearly, how do I copy a multi-directory structure and have all the resulting files in a single directory destination, with all the files ending in one directory, alone ?


Thanks in advance,
Abrahao.

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-cgls [OPTIONS...] [CGROUP...]

       systemd-cgls [OPTIONS...] --unit|--user-unit [UNIT...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-cgls recursively shows the contents of the selected Linux control group hierarchy in a tree. If arguments are specified, shows all
       member processes of the specified control groups plus all their subgroups and their members. The control groups may either be specified by
       their full file paths or are assumed in the systemd control group hierarchy. If no argument is specified and the current working directory
       is beneath the control group mount point /sys/fs/cgroup, shows the contents of the control group the working directory refers to.
       Otherwise, the full systemd control group hierarchy is shown.

       By default, empty control groups are not shown.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --all
           Do not hide empty control groups in the output.

       -l, --full
           Do not ellipsize process tree members.

       -u, --unit
           Show cgroup subtrees for the specified units.

       --user-unit
           Show cgroup subtrees for the specified user units.

       -k
           Include kernel threads in output.

       -M MACHINE, --machine=MACHINE
           Limit control groups shown to the part corresponding to the container MACHINE.

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

       --no-pager
           Do not pipe output into a pager.
