Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

main: called from the console. This makes logger and parametercontainer objects and calls copy(), catching any exceptions.

copy

public static void copy(ParameterContainer params,
                        Logger logger)
                 throws java.io.IOException

This is the main command line, with logger and parameter container arguments. The params parameter contains values as on the command line: for each switch "-switch value" there is a parameter "switch" with value "value" in params. Boolean switches (such as -[no]clobber) should have parameter (in this case "clobber") with value "true" or "false". The input location or file corresponds to parameter "input". The output location or file corresponds to parameter "output". Default values will be added to the params object by these methods.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

copy

public static void copy(java.lang.String src,
                        java.lang.String dest,
                        boolean clobber,
                        Logger logger)

This is the main executed method: copies files listed in file "list" in directory src to the directory of the file dest, with silent and clobber flags. If src or dest are null or empty they will be assumed to be the current directory. If they are directories they MUST end in the system file separator. If not they are assumed to be names of files, and these files' containing directories are used.

copyFiles

public static void copyFiles(java.lang.String srcDir,
                             java.lang.String destDir,
                             boolean clobber,
                             Logger logger)

copies any files in srcDir to destDir
