=head1 NAME

File::Copy - Copy files or filehandles

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use File::Copy;

	copy("file1","file2") or die "Copy failed: $!";
	copy("Copy.pm",\*STDOUT);
	move("/dev1/fileA","/dev2/fileB");

	use File::Copy "cp";

	$n = FileHandle->new("/a/file","r");
	cp($n,"x");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
one place to another.

=over 4

=item *

The C<copy> function takes two
parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
written to (and created if need be).  Trying to copy a file on top
of itself is a fatal error.

B<Note that passing in
files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
names whenever possible.>  Files are opened in binary mode where
applicable.  To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.

An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
first file, that wil be held in memory at any given time, before
being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2Mb), or
1k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).

You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.

=item *

The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
and the intended name of the file to be moved.  If the destination
already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
specified by the destination.

If possible, move() will simply rename the file.  Otherwise, it copies
the file to the new location and deletes the original.  If an error occurs
during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
copy of the file under the destination name.

You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.

=back

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

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

=head2 Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)

If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.>  The buffer size
parameter is ignored.  If either argument to C<copy> is a
handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
or record structure.

The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).

=over 4

=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])

The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
they are used in all cases to obtain the
I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively.  The
name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
output file, if necessary.

A new version of the output file is always created, which
inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
see below).  All data from the input file is copied to the
output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
is a file handle, its position is unchanged.  (Note that this
means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
returns, not the newly created version.)

The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
how to handle timestamps.  If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
timestamps are propagated to the output file.  If it is E<gt> 0, then
it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
is set, the revision date is propagated.  If the third parameter
to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
revision date are propagated.  If this parameter is not supplied,
it defaults to 0.

Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success.  If an error occurs,
it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.

=back

=head1 RETURN

All functions return 1 on success, 0 on failure.
$! will be set if an error was encountered.

=head1 NOTES

=over 4

=item *

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

E.g.

  copy("file1", "tmp");        # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
  copy("file1", ":tmp:");      # creates :tmp:file1
  copy("file1", ":tmp");       # same as above
  copy("file1", "tmp");        # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do   
                               # that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1)
  copy("file1", "tmp:file1");  # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume
  copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path
  copy("file1", "DataHD:");    # creates DataHD:file1
  
  move("MacintoshHD:fileA", "DataHD:fileB"); # moves (don't copies) files from one 
                                             # volume to another

f716a1dd	281
	282	=head1 DESCRIPTION
	283
441496b2 CB	284	The File::Copy module provides two basic functions, C<copy> and
	285	C<move>, which are useful for getting the contents of a file from
	286	one place to another.
	287
	288	=over 4
	289
	290	=item *
	291
	292	The C<copy> function takes two
f716a1dd	293	parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to. Either
	294	argument may be a string, a FileHandle reference or a FileHandle
	295	glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
	296	sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
	297	be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
96a91e01	298	written to (and created if need be). Trying to copy a file on top
96a91e01	299	of itself is a fatal error.
71be2cbc	300
71be2cbc	301	B<Note that passing in
9b957b78	302	files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
9b957b78	303	on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
e6434134	304	names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where
8dcee03e	305	applicable. To get a consistent behaviour when copying from a
e6434134	306	filehandle to a file, use C<binmode> on the filehandle.
f716a1dd	307
	308	An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
	309	size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
	310	first file, that wil be held in memory at any given time, before
	311	being written to the second file. The default buffer size depends
	312	upon the file, but will generally be the whole file (up to 2Mb), or
	313	1k for filehandles that do not reference files (eg. sockets).
	314
	315	You may use the syntax C<use File::Copy "cp"> to get at the
	316	"cp" alias for this function. The syntax is I<exactly> the same.
	317
441496b2 CB	318	=item *
	319
	320	The C<move> function also takes two parameters: the current name
71be2cbc	321	and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination
	322	already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a
	323	directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory
	324	specified by the destination.
	325
	326	If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies
	327	the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs
	328	during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial)
441496b2 CB	329	copy of the file under the destination name.
	330
	331	You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that
	332	you may use the "cp" alias for C<copy>.
	333
	334	=back
	335
9b957b78	336	File::Copy also provides the C<syscopy> routine, which copies the
	337	file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
	338	second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
	339	structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
f1442e8b SB	340	C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes. For
	341	VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below). For OS/2
	342	systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems,
	343	this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
9b957b78	344
bcdb689b JH	345	On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>,
	346	if available.
	347
7509b657	348	=head2 Special behaviour if C<syscopy> is defined (OS/2, VMS and Win32)
9b957b78	349
71be2cbc	350	If both arguments to C<copy> are not file handles,
71be2cbc	351	then C<copy> will perform a "system copy" of
9b957b78	352	the input file to a new output file, in order to preserve file
9b957b78	353	attributes, indexed file structure, I<etc.> The buffer size
71be2cbc	354	parameter is ignored. If either argument to C<copy> is a
71be2cbc	355	handle to an opened file, then data is copied using Perl
9b957b78	356	operators, and no effort is made to preserve file attributes
	357	or record structure.
	358
55497cff	359	The system copy routine may also be called directly under VMS and OS/2
55497cff	360	as C<File::Copy::syscopy> (or under VMS as C<File::Copy::rmscopy>, which
71be2cbc	361	is the routine that does the actual work for syscopy).
9b957b78	362
441496b2	363	=over 4
55497cff	364
9b957b78	365	=item rmscopy($from,$to[,$date_flag])
9b957b78	366
71be2cbc	367	The first and second arguments may be strings, typeglobs, typeglob
	368	references, or objects inheriting from IO::Handle;
	369	they are used in all cases to obtain the
9b957b78	370	I<filespec> of the input and output files, respectively. The
	371	name and type of the input file are used as defaults for the
	372	output file, if necessary.
	373
	374	A new version of the output file is always created, which
	375	inherits the structure and RMS attributes of the input file,
	376	except for owner and protections (and possibly timestamps;
	377	see below). All data from the input file is copied to the
	378	output file; if either of the first two parameters to C<rmscopy>
	379	is a file handle, its position is unchanged. (Note that this
	380	means a file handle pointing to the output file will be
	381	associated with an old version of that file after C<rmscopy>
	382	returns, not the newly created version.)
	383
	384	The third parameter is an integer flag, which tells C<rmscopy>
1fef88e7 JM	385	how to handle timestamps. If it is E<lt> 0, none of the input file's
1fef88e7 JM	386	timestamps are propagated to the output file. If it is E<gt> 0, then
9b957b78	387	it is interpreted as a bitmask: if bit 0 (the LSB) is set, then
	388	timestamps other than the revision date are propagated; if bit 1
	389	is set, the revision date is propagated. If the third parameter
	390	to C<rmscopy> is 0, then it behaves much like the DCL COPY command:
	391	if the name or type of the output file was explicitly specified,
	392	then no timestamps are propagated, but if they were taken implicitly
	393	from the input filespec, then all timestamps other than the
	394	revision date are propagated. If this parameter is not supplied,
	395	it defaults to 0.
	396
	397	Like C<copy>, C<rmscopy> returns 1 on success. If an error occurs,
	398	it sets C<$!>, deletes the output file, and returns 0.

	412
	413	On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
	414	current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful
	415	about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins
	416	with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a
	417	':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required.
	418
	419	E.g.
	420
	421	copy("file1", "tmp"); # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
	422	copy("file1", ":tmp:"); # creates :tmp:file1
	423	copy("file1", ":tmp"); # same as above
	424	copy("file1", "tmp"); # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do
	425	# that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1)
	426	copy("file1", "tmp:file1"); # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume
	427	copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path
	428	copy("file1", "DataHD:"); # creates DataHD:file1
	429
	430	move("MacintoshHD:fileA", "DataHD:fileB"); # moves (don't copies) files from one
	431	# volume to another
