copyAttributes

open fun copyAttributes(destination: File, flags: FileCopyFlags, cancellable: Cancellable? = null): <Error class: unknown class><Boolean>

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.

Return

true if the attributes were copied successfully, false otherwise.

Parameters

destination

a #GFile to copy attributes to

flags

a set of #GFileCopyFlags

cancellable

optional #GCancellable object, null to ignore
