copyFile package:directory

copyFile :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()

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.

copyFile :: OsPath -> OsPath -> IO ()

directory System.Directory.OsPath

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.

copyFileWithMetadata :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()

directory System.Directory

Copy a file with its associated metadata. If the destination file already exists, it is overwritten. There is no guarantee of atomicity in the replacement of the destination file. Neither path may refer to an existing directory. If the source and/or destination are symbolic links, the copy is performed on the targets of the links. On Windows, it behaves like the Win32 function CopyFile, which copies various kinds of metadata including file attributes and security resource properties. On Unix-like systems, permissions, access time, and modification time are preserved. If possible, the owner and group are also preserved. Note that the very act of copying can change the access time of the source file, hence the access times of the two files may differ after the operation completes.

copyFileContents :: OsPath -> OsPath -> IO ()

directory System.Directory.Internal

Truncate the destination file and then copy the contents of the source file to the destination file. If the destination file already exists, its attributes shall remain unchanged. Otherwise, its attributes are reset to the defaults.

copyFileWithMetadataInternal :: (Metadata -> OsPath -> IO ()) -> (Metadata -> OsPath -> IO ()) -> OsPath -> OsPath -> IO ()

directory System.Directory.Internal

copyFileWithMetadata :: OsPath -> OsPath -> IO ()

directory System.Directory.OsPath

Copy a file with its associated metadata. If the destination file already exists, it is overwritten. There is no guarantee of atomicity in the replacement of the destination file.
