Thank you for your report. But the man pages are automatically generated from the program executable. This is done specifically to help ensure that the man page and the program are kept in sync. It would be difficult for the problem that you describe to sneak through. Therefore I am suspicious that perhaps you are not using the cp binary from 5.97 but are really using a later cp program version. Could you be more specific about the -P option behavior that you are reporting? It looks okay to me. The documentation that you mention as being correct is for the latest upstream version of coreutils which is a later version than the one that you identified. You identified 5.97 but the current upstream version is 6.9. That would definitely not be the right version of the manual to match with version 5.97.
