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 usesFile::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
.
