<h2><a name="move">Move</a></h2>
|
||
|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
||
|
<p>Moves a file to a new file or directory, or sets of files to
|
||
|
a new directory. By default, the
|
||
|
destination file is overwritten if it already exists. When <var>overwrite</var> is
|
||
|
turned off, then files are only moved if the source file is newer than
|
||
|
the destination file, or when the destination file does not exist.</p>
|
||
|
<p><a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a>s are used to select sets of files
|
||
|
to move to the <var>todir</var> directory.</p>

<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
|
||
|
<h4>mapper</h4>
|
||
|
<p>You can define file name transformations by using a nested <a
|
||
|
href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html">mapper</a> element. The default mapper used by
|
||
|
<code><copy></code> is the <a
|
||
|
href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity</a>.</p>
