fileManager(_:shouldCopyItemAtPath:toPath:)

Asks the delegate if the file manager should copy the specified item to the new path.

Declaration

optional func fileManager(_ fileManager: FileManager, shouldCopyItemAtPath srcPath: String, toPath dstPath: String) -> Bool

Parameters

  • fileManager:

    The file manager object that is attempting to copy the file or directory.

  • srcPath:

    The path to the file or directory that the file manager wants to copy.

  • dstPath:

    The new path for the copied file or directory.

Return Value

true if the item should be copied or false if the file manager should stop copying items associated with the current operation. If you do not implement this method, the file manager assumes a response of true.

Discussion

This method is called once for each item that needs to be copied. Thus, for a directory, this method is called once for the directory and once for each item in the directory.

This method performs the same task as the fileManager(_:shouldCopyItemAt:to:) method, which is preferred over this method in macOS 10.6 and later.
