copy_attributes

Description:

public bool copy_attributes (File destination, FileCopyFlags flags, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error

Copies the file attributes from this 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 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.

Parameters:

this	a File with attributes
destination	a File to copy attributes to
flags	a set of FileCopyFlags
cancellable	optional Cancellable object, null to ignore

Returns:

true if the attributes were copied successfully, false otherwise.
