copyFile -package:directory

Copy a file with its permissions. If the destination file already exists, it is replaced atomically. Neither path may refer to an existing directory. No exceptions are thrown if the permissions could not be copied.

Lifted copyFile.

copyFile old new copies the existing file from old to new. If the new file already exists, it is atomically replaced by the old file. Neither path may refer to an existing directory. The permissions of old are copied to new, if possible.

Copy the content and permissions of a file to a new entry in the filesystem. If a file already exists at the new location, it will be replaced. Copying a file is not atomic. This computation throws IOError on failure. See “Classifying I/O errors” in the System.IO.Error documentation for information on why the failure occured. Since: 0.1.1

Lifted version of copyFile with well-typed filepaths.

Copy a file

This will copy any file directly by using a system call

Given a relative path to a file, copy it to the given directory, preserving the relative path and creating the parent directories if needed.

Given a relative path to a file, copy it to the given directory, preserving the relative path and creating the parent directories if needed.

Copies a file without copying file permissions. The target file is created with default permissions. Any existing target file is replaced. At higher verbosity levels it logs an info message.

Copies a bunch of files to a target directory, preserving the directory structure in the target location. The target directories are created if they do not exist. The files are identified by a pair of base directory and a path relative to that base. It is only the relative part that is preserved in the destination. For example:

copyFiles normal "dist/src"
[("", "src/Foo.hs"), ("dist/build/", "src/Bar.hs")]

This would copy "src/Foo.hs" to "dist/src/src/Foo.hs" and copy "dist/build/src/Bar.hs" to "dist/src/src/Bar.hs". This operation is not atomic. Any IO failure during the copy (including any missing source files) leaves the target in an unknown state so it is best to use it with a freshly created directory so that it can be simply deleted if anything goes wrong.

Lifted copyFileWithMetadata.

Copies one filename to another in binary mode. Please note that the Unix permission bits on the output file cannot be set due to a limitation of the Haskell openBinaryFile function. Therefore, you may need to adjust those bits after the copy yourself. This function is implemented using hBlockCopy internally.

Copies one filename to another in text mode. Please note that the Unix permission bits are set at a default; you may need to adjust them after the copy yourself. This function is implemented using hLineCopy internally.

copyFile' old new copies the existing file from old to new. The old file will be tracked as a dependency. Also creates the new directory if necessary.
