f716a1dd 359
360=head1 DESCRIPTION
361
441496b2
CB
362The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
363C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
364one place to another.
365
366=over 4
367
0cdecedb
GS
368=item copy
369X<copy> X<cp>
441496b2
CB
370
371The C<copy> function takes two
f716a1dd 372parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
373argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
374glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
375sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
376be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
96a91e01 377written to (and created if need be). Trying to copy a file on top
378of itself is a fatal error.
71be2cbc 379
380B<Note that passing in
9b957b78 381files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
382on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
e6434134 383names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where
8dcee03e 384applicable. To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
e6434134 385filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
f716a1dd 386
387An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
388size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
3a964d77 389first file, that will be held in memory at any given time, before
f716a1dd 390being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
338de517 391upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2MB), or
f716a1dd 3921k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
393
394You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
395"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
396
0cdecedb
GS
397=item move
398X<move> X<mv> X<rename>
441496b2
CB
399
400The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
71be2cbc 401and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination
402already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
403directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
404specified by the destination.
405
406If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies
407the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs
408during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
441496b2
CB
409copy of the file under the destination name.
410
411You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
412you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
413
0cdecedb
GS
414=item syscopy
415X<syscopy>
441496b2 416
9b957b78 417File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
418file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
419second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
420structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
f1442e8b
SB
421C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes. For
422VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below). For OS/2
423systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems,
424this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
9b957b78 425
bcdb689b
JH
426On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>,
427if available.
428
338de517 429B<Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)>:
9b957b78 430
71be2cbc 431If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
432then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
9b957b78 433the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
434attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.> The buffer size
71be2cbc 435parameter is ignored. If either argument to C<copy> is a
436handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
9b957b78 437operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
438or record structure.
439
55497cff 440The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
441as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
71be2cbc 442is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
9b957b78 443
444=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
0cdecedb 445X<rmscopy>
9b957b78 446
71be2cbc 447The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
448references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
449they are used in all cases to obtain the
9b957b78 450I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively. The
451name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
452output file, if necessary.
453
454A new version of the output file is always created, which
455inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
456except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
457see below). All data from the input file is copied to the
458output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
459is a file handle, its position is unchanged. (Note that this
460means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
461associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
462returns, not the newly created version.)
463
464The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>

465how to handle timestamps. If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
466timestamps are propagated to the output file. If it is E<gt> 0, then
9b957b78 467it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
468timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
469is set, the revision date is propagated. If the third parameter
470to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
471if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
472then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
473from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
474revision date are propagated. If this parameter is not supplied,
475it defaults to 0.
476
477Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success. If an error occurs,
478it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.

493On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
494current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful
495about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins
496with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a
497':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required.

499E.g.

501 copy("file1", "tmp"); # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
502 copy("file1", ":tmp:"); # creates :tmp:file1
503 copy("file1", ":tmp"); # same as above

508 copy("file1", "DataHD:"); # creates DataHD:file1
