gFileCopyAttributes {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileCopyAttributes

### Description

Copies the file attributes from `source` to `destination`.

### Usage

    gFileCopyAttributes(object, destination, flags = "G_FILE_COPY_NONE",
        cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GFile` with attributes.
``destination`` | a `GFile` to copy attributes to.
``flags`` | a set of `GFileCopyFlags`.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

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.

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [logical] `TRUE` if the attributes were copied successfully, `FALSE` otherwise.
``error`` | a `GError`, `NULL` to ignore.
