To be fair, most people who try to copy success fail.

Lot of && in that message. The success reason may not be related to the copy failure reason but to another part of the commands?

Without seeing the command it isn’t really possible to tell.

What does it matter what came before or after the offending command? Clearly, usr/bin/ar says it’s unable to copy a file because of Success.

Lists

A list is a sequence of one or more pipelines separated by one of

the operators ;, &, &&, or ||, and optionally terminated by one

of ;, &, or .

followed by ; and &, which have equal precedence.

A sequence of one or more newlines may appear in a list instead

of a semicolon to delimit commands.

If a command is terminated by the control operator &, the shell

executes the command in the background in a subshell. The shell

does not wait for the command to finish, and the return status is

0. These are referred to as asynchronous commands. Commands

separated by a ; are executed sequentially; the shell waits for

each command to terminate in turn. The return status is the exit

status of the last command executed.

AND and OR lists are sequences of one or more pipelines separated

by the && and || control operators, respectively. AND and OR

lists are executed with left associativity. An AND list has the

form

      command1 && command2

command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an exit

status of zero (success).

Funny tangent. I remember windows HRESULTS containing E_SUCCESS (error success) and something along the lines of S_FAILURE (success failure) I’m a little fuzzy on that second one though, so someone else can correct me if I have the wrong name for it.

Maybe they’re for when you’re trying to cancel a request? 😅
