Method

GioFilecopy_async

Declaration

void
g_file_copy_async (
  GFile* source,
  GFile* destination,
  GFileCopyFlags flags,
  int io_priority,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GFileProgressCallback progress_callback,
  gpointer progress_callback_data,
  GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description

Copies the file source to the location specified by destination asynchronously. For details of the behaviour, see g_file_copy().

If progress_callback is not NULL, then that function that will be called just like in g_file_copy(). The callback will run in the default main context of the thread calling g_file_copy_async() — the same context as callback is run in.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call g_file_copy_finish() to get the result of the operation.

The implementation of this method is provided by g_file_copy_async_with_closures() in language bindings
