- lpExistingFileName
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of an existing file.
- lpNewFileName
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the new file.
- lpProgressRoutine
Specifies the address of a callback function of type LPPROGRESS_ROUTINE that is called each time another portion of the file has been copied. This parameter can be NULL. For more information on the progress callback function, see CopyProgressRoutine.
- lpData
Specifies an argument to be passed to the callback function. This parameter can be NULL.
- pbCancel
Points to a Boolean variable that can be used to cancel the operation. If this flag is set to TRUE during the copy operation, the operation is canceled.
- dwCopyFlags
Specifies how the file is to be copied. This parameter can be a combination of the following values:
COPY_FILE_FAIL_IF_EXISTS
The copy operation fails immediately if the target file already exists.
COPY_FILE_RESTARTABLE
Progress of the copy is tracked in the target file in case the copy fails. The failed copy can be restarted at a later time by specifying the same values for lpExistingFileName and lpNewFileName as those used in the call that failed. |
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. |
