std::experi...copy_symlink(3)

💅 std::experimental::filesystem::copy_symlink 💅

okay bestie, this is the C++ Standard Libary manual page for std::experi...copy_symlink(3) — and yes, we are copying a symlink to another location. slay. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

• std::experimental::filesystem::copy_symlink — std::experimental::filesystem::copy_symlink

✨ Synopsis ✨

          Defined in header <experimental/filesystem>
          void copy_symlink( const path& from, const path& to ); (1)
       (filesystem TS)
          void copy_symlink( const path& from, const path& to,   (2)
       (filesystem TS)
                             error_code& ec );

Copies a symlink to another location. 🦋

1. Effectively calls f(read_symlink(from), to) where f is create_symlink() or create_directory_symlink depending on whether from resolves to a file or directory.
2. Effectively calls f(read_symlink(from, ec), to, ec) where f is create_symlink() or create_directory_symlink depending on whether from resolves to a file or directory.

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• from — path to a symbolic link to copy
• to — destination path of the new symlink
• ec — out-parameter for error reporting in the non-throwing overload

🫶 Return value 🫶

(none) — like, no return value, bestie 💅

💀 Exceptions 💀

The overload that does not take an error_code& parameter throws filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors, constructed with from as the first argument, to as the second argument, and the OS error code as the error code argument. std::bad_alloc may be thrown if memory allocation fails. The overload taking an error_code& parameter sets it to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur. This overload has noexcept specification:

noexcept
