Move Files Or Directories (LCC.web_file.move)

Signature​

ok, err = LCC.web_file.move(src, target, mode?, timeout?)

Parameters​

  • src
    String. Source path.
  • target
    String. Destination path.
  • mode
    String, optional. Move 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
    String or nil. Error description when the move fails.

Notes​

Moves files or directories; also useful for renaming.
When src is a symlink, the move operates on the link itself and does not rewrite or remove the target content.
In normal mode the operation fails if the target already exists; other modes behave like their shorthand helpers.

Example​

local ok, err = LCC.web_file.move("/scripts/temp.lua", "/scripts/main.lua", "overwrite")
if not ok then
    error(err)
end
