189 use File::Copy;
190
191 copy("file1","file2");
192 copy("Copy.pm",\*STDOUT);'
441496b2 193 move("/dev1/fileA","/dev2/fileB");

200
201=head1 DESCRIPTION
202
441496b2 203The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
204C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
205one place to another.
206
207=over 4
208
209=item *
210
211The C<copy> function takes two
f716a1dd 212parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
213argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
214glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
215sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
216be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
e6434134 217written to (and created if need be).
71be2cbc 218
219B<Note that passing in
9b957b78 220files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
221on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
e6434134 222names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where
223applicable. To get a consistent behavour when copying from a
224filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
f716a1dd 225
226An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
227size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
228first file, that wil be held in memory at any given time, before
229being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
230upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2Mb), or
2311k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
232
233You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
234"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
235
441496b2 236=item *
237
238The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
71be2cbc 239and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination
240already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
241directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
242specified by the destination.
243
244If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies
245the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs
246during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
441496b2 247copy of the file under the destination name.
248
249You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
250you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
251
252=back
253
9b957b78 254File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
255file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
256second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
257structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
258C<copy> routine. For VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy>
259routine (see below). For OS/2 systems, this calls the C<syscopy>
260XSUB directly.
261
55497cff 262=head2 Special behavior if C<syscopy> is defined (VMS and OS/2)
9b957b78 263
71be2cbc 264If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
265then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
9b957b78 266the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
267attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.> The buffer size
71be2cbc 268parameter is ignored. If either argument to C<copy> is a
269handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
9b957b78 270operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
271or record structure.
272
55497cff 273The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
274as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
71be2cbc 275is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
9b957b78 276
441496b2 277=over 4
55497cff 278
9b957b78 279=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
280
71be2cbc 281The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
282references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
283they are used in all cases to obtain the
9b957b78 284I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively. The
285name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
286output file, if necessary.
287
288A new version of the output file is always created, which
289inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
290except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
291see below). All data from the input file is copied to the
292output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
293is a file handle, its position is unchanged. (Note that this
294means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
295associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
296returns, not the newly created version.)
297
298The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
1fef88e7 299how to handle timestamps. If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
300timestamps are propagated to the output file. If it is E<gt> 0, then
9b957b78 301it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
302timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
303is set, the revision date is propagated. If the third parameter
304to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
305if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
306then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
307from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
308revision date are propagated. If this parameter is not supplied,
309it defaults to 0.
310
311Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success. If an error occurs,
312it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.
313
55497cff 314=back
315
f716a1dd 316=head1 RETURN
317
441496b2 318All functions return 1 on success, 0 on failure.
319$! will be set if an error was encountered.
