``file.copy`` works in a similar way to ``file.append`` but with the arguments

Description

in the natural order for copying. Copying to existing destination files is
skipped unless overwrite = TRUE. The to argument can specify a single existing
directory. If copy.mode = TRUE file read/write/execute permissions are copied
where possible, restricted by ‘umask’. (On Windows this applies only to files.
) Other security attributes such as ACLs are not copied. On a POSIX filesystem
the targets of symbolic links will be copied rather than the links themselves,
and hard links are copied separately. Using copy.date = TRUE may or may not
copy the timestamp exactly (for example, fractional seconds may be omitted),
but is more likely to do so as from R 3.4.0.

Usage

file.copy(from, to,
    overwrite = FALSE,
    verbose = FALSE);

Value

These functions return a logical vector indicating which operation succeeded for each of the files attempted. Using a missing value for a file or path name will always be regarded as a failure.
