Module copyFile

Callable

• copyFile(src: PathLike, dest: PathLike, callback: NoParamCallback): void
• copyFile(src: PathLike, dest: PathLike, flags: number, callback: NoParamCallback): void

• Asynchronously copies src to dest. By default, dest is overwritten if it already exists. No arguments other than a possible exception are given to the callback function. Node.js makes no guarantees about the atomicity of the copy operation. If an error occurs after the destination file has been opened for writing, Node.js will attempt to remove the destination.

  Parameters

  • src: PathLike

    A path to the source file.

  • dest: PathLike

    A path to the destination file.

  • callback: NoParamCallback

  Returns void

  Parameters

  • src: PathLike

    A path to the source file.

  • dest: PathLike

    A path to the destination file.

  • flags: number

    An integer that specifies the behavior of the copy operation. The only supported flag is fs.constants.COPYFILE_EXCL, which causes the copy operation to fail if dest already exists.

  • callback: NoParamCallback

  Returns void
