copyfile
copies a file
Syntax
copyfile(source, destination) [status, message] = copyfile(source, destination)
Arguments
- source
a character string: a filename or a directory name.
- destination
a character string: a directory name.
Description
copyfile(source,destination) copies the file or
directory source (and subdirectories) to the file or
directory destination.
If source is a directory, destination can not be a file.
 | copyfile replaces existing files without warning. |
[status, msg] = copyfile(source, destination)
copies source to destination, returning the status and a message.
Whatever the operating system, if the copy succeeds, the status is 1
and the message is empty; if the copy fails, the status is 0 and the
message is not empty.
The timestamp given to the destination file is identical to that taken from source file.
Examples
copyfile(SCI+"/etc/scilab.start",TMPDIR+"/scilab.start") [status, msg] = copyfile(SCI+"/etc/scilab.start",TMPDIR);
