NAME¶
File::Copy::Link - extension for replacing a link by a copy of the linked file
SYNOPSIS¶
use File::Copy::Link;
copylink 'file.lnk';
use File::Copy::Link qw(safecopylink);
safecopylink 'file.lnk';
DESCRIPTION¶
- "copylink"
- reads the filename linked to by the argument and replaced the link with a
copy of the file. It opens a filehandle to read from the link, deletes the
link, and then copies the filehandle back to the link.
- "safecopylink"
- does the same as "copylink" but without the open-and-delete
manouvre. Instead, it uses "File::Spec::Link" to find the target
of the link and copies from there.
This module is mostly a wrapper round "File::Spec::Link::linked" and
"File::Copy::copy", the functionality is available in a command line
script
copylink.
EXPORT¶
Nothing by default, can export "copylink", `"safecopylink".
