copy($$)

This function copies a file to another and dies if it cannot succeed.

syscopy($$)

This function does the same work as copy but preserves file permissions and other attributes.

This function assumes that the target file exists, unlinks it, and then copies the source to the target

This function does the same work as copy_unlink but preserves file permissions and other attributes.

copy_mkdir($$)
