Signature​

Parameters​

  • src
    String. Source path.
  • target
    String. Destination path.
  • mode
    String, optional. Copy mode, default "normal"; supports "overwrite", "merge", "overwrite-merge".
  • timeout
    Number, optional. Request timeout in seconds, default 60.

Returns​

  • ok
    Boolean. true on success, nil on failure.
  • err

Notes​

Copies files or whole directories.
When src is a symlink, the link itself is copied rather than the target content.
normal mode refuses to overwrite existing targets; the other modes behave just like the convenience helpers.
Returns nil, err when the path is invalid or conflicts occur.

local ok, err = LCC.web_file.copy("/templates", "/backup/templates")
if not ok then
    error(err)
end
