Create And Move Files And Directories

    import scalax.file.Path

    val path: Path = Path ("/tmp/file")
    val dest: Path = Path ("/tmp/file2")

    // make a copy of the file
    // by default this will fail if dest already exists
    // also attribute information like datestamp will be
    // set on the destination file
    // If path is a directory the copy will not be recursive
    path.copyTo (dest)

    // Copy explicitly declaring options
    path.copyTo (target=dest,
                 copyAttributes=false,
                 replaceExisting=true)

    // Move/Rename the path
    // by default throw exception if destination exists
    // and if a copy is required by underlying filesystem then do that
    path.moveTo (target=dest)

    // Here we will overwrite existing files (but not non-empty directories)
    // and will fail if a copy is required (similar to java.file.File.renameTo)
    // if a failure occures an exception is thrown
    path.moveTo (target=dest,
                 replace=true,
                 atomicMove=true)
