86 the file exists, it will be ruthlessly clobbered.) If 'preserve_mode'
87 is true (the default), the file's mode (type and permission bits, or
88 whatever is analogous on the current platform) is copied. If

94 'link' allows you to make hard links (os.link) or symbolic links
95 (os.symlink) instead of copying: set it to "hard" or "sym"; if it is

97 don't support it: 'copy_file()' doesn't check if hard or symbolic
98 linking is available.
