309=head1 DESCRIPTION
310
441496b2
CB
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
317=item *
318
319The C<copy> function takes two
f716a1dd 320parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
321argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
322glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
323sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
324be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
96a91e01 325written to (and created if need be). Trying to copy a file on top
326of itself is a fatal error.
71be2cbc 327
328B<Note that passing in
9b957b78 329files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
330on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
e6434134 331names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where
8dcee03e 332applicable. To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
e6434134 333filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
f716a1dd 334
335An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
336size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
337first file, that wil be held in memory at any given time, before
338being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
339upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2Mb), or
3401k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
341
342You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
343"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
344
441496b2
CB
345=item *
346
347The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
71be2cbc 348and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination
349already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
350directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
351specified by the destination.
352
353If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies
354the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs
355during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
441496b2
CB
356copy of the file under the destination name.
357
358You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
359you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
360
361=back
362
9b957b78 363File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
364file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
365second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
366structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
f1442e8b
SB
367C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes. For
368VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below). For OS/2
369systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems,
370this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
9b957b78 371
bcdb689b
JH
372On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>,
373if available.
374
7509b657 375=head2 Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)
9b957b78 376
71be2cbc 377If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
378then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
9b957b78 379the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
380attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.> The buffer size
71be2cbc 381parameter is ignored. If either argument to C<copy> is a
382handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
9b957b78 383operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
384or record structure.
385
55497cff 386The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
387as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
71be2cbc 388is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
9b957b78 389
441496b2 390=over 4
55497cff 391
9b957b78 392=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
393
71be2cbc 394The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
395references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
396they are used in all cases to obtain the
9b957b78 397I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively. The
398name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
399output file, if necessary.
400
401A new version of the output file is always created, which
402inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
403except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
404see below). All data from the input file is copied to the
405output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
406is a file handle, its position is unchanged. (Note that this
407means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
408associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
409returns, not the newly created version.)
410
411The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
1fef88e7
JM
412how to handle timestamps. If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
413timestamps are propagated to the output file. If it is E<gt> 0, then
9b957b78 414it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
415timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
416is set, the revision date is propagated. If the third parameter
417to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
418if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
419then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
420from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
421revision date are propagated. If this parameter is not supplied,
422it defaults to 0.
423
424Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success. If an error occurs,
425it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.

439
440On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
441current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful
442about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins
443with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a
444':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required.
445
446E.g.
447
448 copy("file1", "tmp"); # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
449 copy("file1", ":tmp:"); # creates :tmp:file1
450 copy("file1", ":tmp"); # same as above
451 copy("file1", "tmp"); # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do
452 # that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1)
453 copy("file1", "tmp:file1"); # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume
454 copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path
455 copy("file1", "DataHD:"); # creates DataHD:file1
456
457 move("MacintoshHD:fileA", "DataHD:fileB"); # moves (don't copies) files from one
