Method
GioFilecopy_attributes
Declaration
gboolean
g_file_copy_attributes (
GFile* source,
GFile* destination,
GFileCopyFlags flags,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description
Copies the file attributes from source to destination.
Normally only a subset of the file attributes are copied,
those that are copies in a normal file copy operation
(which for instance does not include e.g. owner). However
if G_FILE_COPY_ALL_METADATA is specified in flags, then
all the metadata that is possible to copy is copied. This
is useful when implementing move by copy + delete source.
