Shared Environment Routines

Copying and Moving Files

The File Manager provides two shared environment routines--PBHCopyFile and PBHMoveRename--that allow you to copy and move files. These routines are especially useful when you want to copy or move files located on a remote volume, because they allow you to forgo transmitting large amounts of data across a network. These routines are used internally by the Finder; most applications do not need to use them.

If you do want to use PBHCopyFile or PBHMoveRename, you should first call PBHGetVolParms to see whether the target volume supports these routines.
