◆ CopyFile() [1/2]

File Joutsen.IO.LocalFilesystem.CopyFile	(	FilesystemPath	sourcePath,
		FilesystemPath	destinationPath,
		bool	overwrite = `false`
	)

Copies a file from sourcePath to destinationPath.

Parameters

sourcePath	the path to copy the file from
destinationPath	the path to copy the file to
overwrite	determines if an existing file at `destinationPath` should be overwritten

Returns: the file representing the copy

Implements Joutsen.IO.Filesystem.

◆ CopyFile() [2/2]

File Joutsen.IO.LocalFilesystem.CopyFile	(	string	sourcePath,
		string	destinationPath,
		bool	overwrite = `false`
	)

Copies a file from sourcePath to destinationPath.

Parameters

sourcePath	the path to copy the file from
destinationPath	the path to copy the file to

Returns: the file representing the copy

Implements Joutsen.IO.Filesystem.

◆ CopyFolder() [1/2]
