Std.Io.copy

1 declaration

fn

copy: Str -> Str -> Result[(), Str]

This is a callable function.

What it does

A file copied byte for byte, or a report of what stopped it.

Bytes rather than text, so a copy of an image or an archive is the file

and not a failure to decode one.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
