fcopy

Purpose
Copy a file.
Synopsis
procedure fcopy(namesrc:string|text, namedest:string|text)
procedure fcopy(namesrc:text, opts:integer, namedest:text, optd:integer)
Arguments
namesrc 
The name of the file to be copied
opts 
Open options for the input file
namedest 
The destination name
optd 
Open options for the output file
Example
The following statement appends file "src" to file "dst": 
fcopy("src",0,"dst",F_APPEND)
Further information
1. This procedure copies the file namesrc to namedest (that is replaced if it already exists). The provided names may use extended notation.
2. With the second form of the procedure it is possible to select options used to open the 2 files (as used with the fopen procedure). The first syntax corresponds to:
fcopy(src,F_SILENT+F_BINARY,dst,F_SILENT+F_BINARY)
3. Besides the content, the destination file does not inherit any property from its origin. For instance, the destination file will not have the same modification time as its source.
