345File::Copy - Copy files or filehandles
346
347=head1 SYNOPSIS
348
349	use File::Copy;
350
351	copy("file1","file2") or die "Copy failed: $!";
352	copy("Copy.pm",\*STDOUT);
353	move("/dev1/fileA","/dev2/fileB");
354
355	use File::Copy "cp";
356
357	$n = FileHandle->new("/a/file","r");
358	cp($n,"x");
359
360=head1 DESCRIPTION
361
362The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
363C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
364one place to another.
365
366=over 4
367
368=item copy
369X<copy> X<cp>
370
371The C<copy> function takes two
372parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
373argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
374glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
375sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
376be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
377written to (and created if need be).  Trying to copy a file on top
378of itself is a fatal error.
379
380B<Note that passing in
381files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
382on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
383names whenever possible.>  Files are opened in binary mode where
384applicable.  To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
385filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
386
387An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
388size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
389first file, that will be held in memory at any given time, before
390being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
391upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2MB), or
3921k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
393
394You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
395"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
396
397=item move
398X<move> X<mv> X<rename>
399
400The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
401and the intended name of the file to be moved.  If the destination
402already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
403directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
404specified by the destination.
405
406If possible, move() will simply rename the file.  Otherwise, it copies
407the file to the new location and deletes the original.  If an error occurs
408during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
409copy of the file under the destination name.
410
411You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
412you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
413
414=item syscopy
415X<syscopy>
416
417File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
418file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
419second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
420structure.  For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
421C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes.  For
422VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below).  For OS/2
423systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems,
424this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
425
426On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>,
427if available.
428
429B<Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)>:
430
431If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
432then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
433the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
434attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.>  The buffer size
435parameter is ignored.  If either argument to C<copy> is a
436handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
437operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
438or record structure.
439
440The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
441as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
442is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
443
444=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
445X<rmscopy>
446
447The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
448references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
449they are used in all cases to obtain the
450I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively.  The
451name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
452output file, if necessary.
453
454A new version of the output file is always created, which
455inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
456except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
457see below).  All data from the input file is copied to the
458output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
459is a file handle, its position is unchanged.  (Note that this
460means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
461associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
462returns, not the newly created version.)
463
464The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
465how to handle timestamps.  If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
466timestamps are propagated to the output file.  If it is E<gt> 0, then
467it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
468timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
469is set, the revision date is propagated.  If the third parameter
470to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
471if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
472then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
473from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
474revision date are propagated.  If this parameter is not supplied,
475it defaults to 0.
476
477Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success.  If an error occurs,
478it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.
479
480=back
481
482=head1 RETURN
483
484All functions return 1 on success, 0 on failure.

493On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
494current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful
495about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins
496with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a
497':'.  If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required.

500
501  copy("file1", "tmp");        # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
502  copy("file1", ":tmp:");      # creates :tmp:file1
503  copy("file1", ":tmp");       # same as above
504  copy("file1", "tmp");        # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do
505                               # that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1)
506  copy("file1", "tmp:file1");  # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume
507  copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path
508  copy("file1", "DataHD:");    # creates DataHD:file1
509
510  move("MacintoshHD:fileA", "DataHD:fileB"); # moves (doesn't copy) files from one
511                                             # volume to another
