Advanced Usage

// Options specifies optional actions on copying.
type Options struct {

    // OnSymlink can specify what to do on symlink
    OnSymlink func(src string) SymlinkAction

    // OnDirExists can specify what to do when there is a directory already existing in destination.
    OnDirExists func(src, dest string) DirExistsAction

    // Skip can specify which files should be skipped
    Skip func(src string) (bool, error)

    // AddPermission to every entities,
    // NO MORE THAN 0777
    AddPermission os.FileMode

    // Sync file after copy.
    // Useful in case when file must be on the disk
    // (in case crash happens, for example),
    // at the expense of some performance penalty
    Sync bool

    // On linux we can preserve only up to 1 millisecond accuracy
