294File::Copy - Copy files or filehandles
295

5ce10329 298 use File::Copy;
f716a1dd 299
5ce10329 300 copy("file1","file2") or die "Copy failed: $!";
301 copy("Copy.pm",\*STDOUT);

f716a1dd 308
309=head1 DESCRIPTION
310
441496b2 311The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
312C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
313one place to another.
314
315=over 4
316
0cdecedb 317=item copy
318X<copy> X<cp>
441496b2 319
320The C<copy> function takes two
f716a1dd 321parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
322argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
323glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
324sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
325be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
96a91e01 326written to (and created if need be). Trying to copy a file on top
327of itself is a fatal error.
71be2cbc 328
329B<Note that passing in
9b957b78 330files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
331on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
e6434134 332names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where
8dcee03e 333applicable. To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
e6434134 334filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
f716a1dd 335
336An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
337size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
338first file, that wil be held in memory at any given time, before
339being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
340upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2Mb), or
3411k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
342
343You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
344"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
345
0cdecedb 346=item move
347X<move> X<mv> X<rename>
441496b2 348
349The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
71be2cbc 350and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination
351already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
352directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
353specified by the destination.
354
355If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies
356the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs
357during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
441496b2 358copy of the file under the destination name.
359
360You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
361you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
362
0cdecedb 363=item syscopy
364X<syscopy>
441496b2 365
9b957b78 366File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
367file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
368second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
369structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
f1442e8b 370C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes. For
371VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below). For OS/2
372systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems,
373this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
9b957b78 374
bcdb689b 375On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>,
376if available.
377
0cdecedb 378B<Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)>
9b957b78 379
71be2cbc 380If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
381then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
9b957b78 382the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
383attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.> The buffer size
71be2cbc 384parameter is ignored. If either argument to C<copy> is a
385handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
9b957b78 386operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
387or record structure.
388
55497cff 389The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
390as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
71be2cbc 391is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
9b957b78 392
393=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
0cdecedb 394X<rmscopy>
9b957b78 395
71be2cbc 396The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
397references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
398they are used in all cases to obtain the
9b957b78 399I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively. The
400name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
401output file, if necessary.
402
403A new version of the output file is always created, which
404inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
405except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
406see below). All data from the input file is copied to the
407output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
408is a file handle, its position is unchanged. (Note that this
409means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
410associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
411returns, not the newly created version.)
412
413The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
1fef88e7 414how to handle timestamps. If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
415timestamps are propagated to the output file. If it is E<gt> 0, then
9b957b78 416it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
417timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
418is set, the revision date is propagated. If the third parameter
419to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
420if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
421then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
422from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
423revision date are propagated. If this parameter is not supplied,
424it defaults to 0.
425
426Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success. If an error occurs,
427it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.

441
442On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
443current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful
444about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins
445with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a
446':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required.
447
448E.g.
449
450 copy("file1", "tmp"); # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
451 copy("file1", ":tmp:"); # creates :tmp:file1
452 copy("file1", ":tmp"); # same as above
0cdecedb 453 copy("file1", "tmp"); # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do
6c254d95 454 # that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1)
455 copy("file1", "tmp:file1"); # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume
456 copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path
457 copy("file1", "DataHD:"); # creates DataHD:file1
0cdecedb 458
459 move("MacintoshHD:fileA", "DataHD:fileB"); # moves (don't copies) files from one
6c254d95 460 # volume to another
