Pike v8.0 release 1738

Method Stdio.cp()


Method cp

int cp(string from, string to)

Description

Copies the file from to the new position to. If there is no system function for cp, a new file will be created and the old one copied manually in chunks of DATA_CHUNK_SIZE bytes.

This function can also copy directories recursively.

Returns

0 on error, 1 on success

Note

This function keeps file and directory mode bits, unlike in Pike 7.6 and earlier.
