source filename to copy
destination filename of the copy operation
Asynchronously copies src
to dest
. By default, dest
is overwritten if it
already exists. No arguments other than a possible exception are given to the
callback function. Node.js makes no guarantees about the atomicity of the copy
operation. If an error occurs after the destination file has been opened for
writing, Node.js will attempt to remove the destination.
mode
is an optional integer that specifies the behavior
of the copy operation. It is possible to create a mask consisting of the bitwise
OR of two or more values (e.g.fs.constants.COPYFILE_EXCL | fs.constants.COPYFILE_FICLONE
).
