copyfile
Copy file
Calling Sequence
copyfile('source','destination') [status,message] = copyfile('source','destination')
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, message] = 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,message] = copyfile(SCI+"/etc/scilab.start",TMPDIR);
