2. 10 core/modules/file/src/FileRepositoryInterface.php \Drupal\file\FileRepositoryInterface::copy()

Copies a file to a new location and adds a file record to the database.

This function should be used when manipulating files that have records stored in the database. This is a powerful function that in many ways performs like an advanced version of copy().

• Checks if $source and $destination are valid and readable/writable.
• If file already exists in $destination either the call will error out, replace the file or rename the file based on the $replace parameter.
• If the $source and $destination are equal, the behavior depends on the $replace parameter. FileExists::Replace will error out. FileExists::Rename will rename the file until the $destination is unique.
• Adds the new file to the files database. If the source file is a temporary file, the resulting file will also be a temporary file. See file_save_upload() for details on temporary files.

Parameters

\Drupal\file\FileInterface $source: A file entity.

string $destination: A string containing the destination that $source should be copied to. This must be a stream wrapper URI.

\Drupal\Core\File\FileExists|int $fileExists: (optional) Replace behavior when the destination file already exists.

Return value

\Drupal\file\FileInterface The file entity.

Throws

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileException Thrown when there is an error writing to the file system.

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileExistsException Thrown when the destination exists and $replace is set to FileExists::Error.

\Drupal\Core\File\Exception\InvalidStreamWrapperException Thrown when the destination is an invalid stream wrapper.

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageException Thrown when there is an error saving the file.
