Enum CopyFile.Flags
Flags that control how the CopyFile APIs operate
Namespace: Darwin
Assembly: CopyFile.dll
Syntax
[System.Flags]
public enum CopyFile.FlagsFields
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Acl | Copy the source file's access control lists. |
| All | Copy the entire file; equivalent to Metadata | All |
| Check | Return a bitmask, corresponding to the Flags indicating which contents would be copied; no data are actually copied. (E.g., if flags was set to Check|Metadata, and the from file had extended attributes but no ACLs, the return value would be Xattr) |
| Clone | Try to clone the file instead. This is a best try flag i.e. if cloning fails, fallback to copying the file. This flag is equivalent to Excl | Acl | Stat | Xattr | Data | NoFollowSrc Note that if cloning is successful, progress callbacks will not be invoked. Note also that there is no support for cloning directories: if a directory is pro- vided as the source and CloneForce is not passed, this will instead copy the directory. Recursive copying however is supported, see below for more information. (Only CopyFile). |
| CloneForce | Clone the file instead. This is a force flag i.e. if cloning fails, an error is returned. This flag is equivalent to Excl | Acl | Stat | Xattr | Data | NoFollowSrc Note that if cloning is successful, progress callbacks will not be invoked. Note also that there is no support for cloning directories: if a directory is provided as the source, an error will be returned. (Only CopyFile). |
| Data | Copy the source file's data. |
| DataSparse | Copy a file sparsely. This requires that the source and destination file systems support sparse files with hole sizes at least as large as their block sizes. This also requires that the source file is sparse, and for fcopyfile() the source file descriptor's offset be a multiple of the minimum hole size. If Data is also specified, this will fall back to a full copy if sparse copying cannot be performed for any reason; otherwise, an error is returned. |
| Excl | Fail if the to file already exists. |
| Metadata | Copy the metadata; equivalent to Security | Xattr |
| Move | Unlink (using remove(3)) the from file. (Only CopyFile) No error is returned if remove(3) fails. Note that remove(3) removes a symbolic link itself, not the target of the link. |
| NoFollow | Equivalent to NoFollowDst and NoFollowSrc |
| NoFollowDst | Do not follow the to file, if it is a symbolic link (only CopyFile) |
| NoFollowSrc | Do not follow the from file, if it is a symbolic link (only CopyFile). |
| Pack | Serialize the from file. The to file is an AppleDouble-format file. |
| Recursive | Causes CopyFile to recursively copy a hierarchy. It is not used by FCopyFile. |
| RunInPlace | If the src file has quarantine information, add the QTN_FLAG_DO_NOT_TRANSLOCATE flag to the quarantine information of the dst file. This allows a bundle to run in place instead of being translocated. |
| Security | Copy the source file's POSIX and ACL information; equivalent to Stat | Acl |
| Stat | Copy the source file's POSIX information (mode, modification time, etc.). |
| Unlink | Unlink the to file before starting. (Only CopyFile). |
| UnPack | Unserialize the from file. The from file is an AppleDouble-format file; the to file will have the extended attributes, ACLs, resource fork, and FinderInfo data from the to file, regardless of the flags argument passed in. |
| Verbose | Verbose copy |
| Xattr | Copy the source file's extended attributes. |
