the "--preserve" help is split in two, with all the other options
appearing between (marked here by *** which doesn't actually appear in
the help output):

$ adb shell cp --help
usage: cp [--preserve=motcxa] [-adlnrsv] [-fipRHLP] SOURCE... DEST

Copy files from SOURCE to DEST.  If more than one SOURCE, DEST must
be a directory.

--preserve takes either a comma separated list of attributes, or the first
***
-F delete any existing destination file first (--remove-destination)
-H Follow symlinks listed on command line
-L Follow all symlinks
-P Do not follow symlinks [default]
-R recurse into subdirectories (DEST must be a directory)
-a same as -dpr
-d don't dereference symlinks
-f delete destination files we can't write to
-i interactive, prompt before overwriting existing DEST
-l hard link instead of copy
-n no clobber (don't overwrite DEST)
-p preserve timestamps, ownership, and mode
-r synonym for -R
-s symlink instead of copy
-v verbose
***
letter(s) of:

        mode - permissions (ignore umask for rwx, copy suid and sticky bit)
   ownership - user and group
  timestamps - file creation, modification, and access times.
     context - security context
       xattr - extended attributes
         all - all of the above
