PowerShell commands, what does -r and -p mean? What is the difference between cp -r and cp -recurse

Viewed 883

I am learning how to use PowerShell and and am looking for a list that explains the commands. I found this list but it does not have the specific commands that I am looking for.

My question is: What is the difference between cp -r and cp -recurse?

Also, it would be nice to know what some of the commands stand for, it would help me to remember them. What does these command actually stand for (the question is not what they do, but what the letter means)?

-r 
-p
