Bug Argument in Linux

I am trying to see the commands that can work also with only one argument. I tried that man to see the commands details but could not figure out. Here in my scenario I have ln, cp and mv commands. I am trying to see if these command can also work with just one argument. It looks like cp works if I am right?

could you give me help to find out the commands?
