File.copyAttributes

bool copyAttributes(gio.file.File destination, gio.types.FileCopyFlags flags, gio.cancellable.Cancellable cancellable = null)

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 [gio.types.FileCopyFlags.AllMetadata] 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.

Parameters

destinationa #GFile to copy attributes to
flagsa set of #GFileCopyFlags
cancellableoptional #GCancellable object, null to ignore

Returns

true if the attributes were copied successfully,

false otherwise.

Throws

[ErrorWrap]
