235
236File::Copy - Copy files or filehandles
237
238=head1 SYNOPSIS
239
240  	use File::Copy;
241
242	copy("file1","file2");
243  	copy("Copy.pm",\*STDOUT);'
244	move("/dev1/fileA","/dev2/fileB");
245
246  	use POSIX;
247	use File::Copy cp;
248
249	$n = FileHandle->new("/a/file","r");
250	cp($n,"x");'
251
252=head1 DESCRIPTION
253
254The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
255C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
256one place to another.
257
258=over 4
259
260=item *
261
262The C<copy> function takes two
263parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
264argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
265glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
266sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
267be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
268written to (and created if need be).
269
270B<Note that passing in
271files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
272on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
273names whenever possible.>  Files are opened in binary mode where
274applicable.  To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
275filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
276
277An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
278size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
279first file, that wil be held in memory at any given time, before
280being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
281upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2Mb), or
2821k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
283
284You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
285"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
286
287=item *
288
289The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
290and the intended name of the file to be moved.  If the destination
291already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
292directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
293specified by the destination.
294
295If possible, move() will simply rename the file.  Otherwise, it copies
296the file to the new location and deletes the original.  If an error occurs
297during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
298copy of the file under the destination name.
299
300You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
301you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
302
303=back
304
305File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
306file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
307second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
308structure.  For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
309C<copy> routine.  For VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy>
310routine (see below).  For OS/2 systems, this calls the C<syscopy>
311XSUB directly. For Win32 systems, this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
312
313=head2 Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)
314
315If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
316then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
317the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
318attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.>  The buffer size
319parameter is ignored.  If either argument to C<copy> is a
320handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
321operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
322or record structure.
323
324The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
325as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
326is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
327
328=over 4
329
330=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
331
332The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
333references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
334they are used in all cases to obtain the
335I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively.  The
336name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
337output file, if necessary.
338
339A new version of the output file is always created, which
340inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
341except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
342see below).  All data from the input file is copied to the
343output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
344is a file handle, its position is unchanged.  (Note that this
345means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
346associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
347returns, not the newly created version.)
348
349The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
350how to handle timestamps.  If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
351timestamps are propagated to the output file.  If it is E<gt> 0, then
352it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
353timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
354is set, the revision date is propagated.  If the third parameter
355to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
356if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
357then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
358from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
359revision date are propagated.  If this parameter is not supplied,
360it defaults to 0.
361
362Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success.  If an error occurs,
363it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.
364
365=back
366
367=head1 RETURN
368
369All functions return 1 on success, 0 on failure.
370$! will be set if an error was encountered.
