If the flag gio.types.FileCopyFlags.NofollowSymlinks is specified then symlinks
will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the
source symlink will be copied.
If the flag gio.types.FileCopyFlags.AllMetadata is specified then all the metadata
that is possible to copy is copied, not just the default subset (which,
for instance, does not include the owner, see #GFileInfo).
If cancellable is not null, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Cancelled will be returned.
If progress_callback is not null, then the operation can be monitored
by setting this to a #GFileProgressCallback function.
progress_callback_data will be passed to this function. It is guaranteed
that this callback will be called after all data has been transferred with
the total number of bytes copied during the operation.
If the source file does not exist, then the gio.types.IOErrorEnum.NotFound error
is returned, independent on the status of the destination.
Copies the file source to the location specified by destination. Can not handle recursive copies of directories.
If the flag gio.types.FileCopyFlags.Overwrite is specified an already existing destination file is overwritten.
If the flag gio.types.FileCopyFlags.NofollowSymlinks is specified then symlinks will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the source symlink will be copied.
If the flag gio.types.FileCopyFlags.AllMetadata is specified then all the metadata that is possible to copy is copied, not just the default subset (which, for instance, does not include the owner, see #GFileInfo).

If the source file does not exist, then the gio.types.IOErrorEnum.NotFound error is returned, independent on the status of the destination.
If gio.types.FileCopyFlags.Overwrite is not specified and the target exists, then the error gio.types.IOErrorEnum.Exists is returned.
If trying to overwrite a file over a directory, the gio.types.IOErrorEnum.IsDirectory error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the gio.types.IOErrorEnum.WouldMerge error is returned.
If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or gio.types.FileCopyFlags.Overwrite is specified and the target is a file, then the gio.types.IOErrorEnum.WouldRecurse error is returned.
If you are interested in copying the #GFile object itself (not the on-disk file), see gio.file.File.dup.
