368 | |
369 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
370 | |
441496b2 |
371 | The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and |
372 | C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from |
373 | one place to another. |
374 | |
375 | =over 4 |
376 | |
0cdecedb |
377 | =item copy |
378 | X<copy> X<cp> |
441496b2 |
379 | |
380 | The C<copy> function takes two |
f716a1dd |
381 | parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either |
382 | argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle |
383 | glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some |
384 | sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will |
385 | be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be |
96a91e01 |
386 | written to (and created if need be). Trying to copy a file on top |
387 | of itself is a fatal error. |
71be2cbc |
388 | |
389 | B<Note that passing in |
9b957b78 |
390 | files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information |
391 | on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file |
e6434134 |
392 | names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where |
8dcee03e |
393 | applicable. To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a |
e6434134 |
394 | filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle. |
f716a1dd |
395 | |
396 | An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer |
397 | size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the |
3a964d77 |
398 | first file, that will be held in memory at any given time, before |
f716a1dd |
399 | being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends |
338de517 |
400 | upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2MB), or |
f716a1dd |
401 | 1k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets). |

411 | |
412 | The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name |
71be2cbc |
413 | and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination |
414 | already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a |
415 | directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory |
416 | specified by the destination. |
417 | |
418 | If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies |
419 | the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs |
420 | during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial) |
441496b2 |
421 | copy of the file under the destination name. |
422 | |
423 | You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that |
424 | you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>. |

429 | File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the |
430 | file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the |
431 | second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file |
432 | structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple |
f1442e8b |
433 | C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes. For |
434 | VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below). For OS/2 |
435 | systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems, |
436 | this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>. |

438 | On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>, |
439 | if available. |

9b957b78 |
442 | |

443 | If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles, |
444 | then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of |
9b957b78 |
445 | the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file |
446 | attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.> The buffer size |
71be2cbc |
447 | parameter is ignored. If either argument to C<copy> is a |
448 | handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl |
9b957b78 |
449 | operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes |
450 | or record structure. |
451 | |
55497cff |
452 | The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2 |
453 | as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which |
71be2cbc |
454 | is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy). |

71be2cbc |
459 | The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob |
460 | references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle; |
461 | they are used in all cases to obtain the |
9b957b78 |
462 | I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively. The |
463 | name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the |
464 | output file, if necessary. |
465 | |
466 | A new version of the output file is always created, which |
467 | inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file, |
468 | except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps; |
469 | see below). All data from the input file is copied to the |
470 | output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy> |
471 | is a file handle, its position is unchanged. (Note that this |
472 | means a file handle pointing to the output file will be |
473 | associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy> |
474 | returns, not the newly created version.) |
475 | |
476 | The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy> |
1fef88e7 |
477 | how to handle timestamps. If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's |
478 | timestamps are propagated to the output file. If it is E<gt> 0, then |
9b957b78 |
479 | it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then |
480 | timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1 |
481 | is set, the revision date is propagated. If the third parameter |
482 | to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command: |
483 | if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified, |
484 | then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly |
485 | from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the |
486 | revision date are propagated. If this parameter is not supplied, |
487 | it defaults to 0. |
488 | |
489 | Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success. If an error occurs, |
490 | it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0. |

504 | |
505 | On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the |
506 | current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful |
507 | about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins |
508 | with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a |
509 | ':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required. |
510 | |
511 | E.g. |
512 | |
513 | copy("file1", "tmp"); # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory |
514 | copy("file1", ":tmp:"); # creates :tmp:file1 |
515 | copy("file1", ":tmp"); # same as above |

516 | copy("file1", "tmp"); # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do |
6c254d95 |
517 | # that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1) |
518 | copy("file1", "tmp:file1"); # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume |
519 | copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path |
