copy_attributes

copy the attributes of a path (file/directory) to another

Copy the attributes of a path (which can be a file or a directory) to another path.

By default no attribute is copied, so make sure to specify any (or all to copy everything).

The optional arguments specify which attributes can be copied:

mode Copy part of the file mode from source to destination. Only the UNIX permissions and the sticky/setuid/setgid bits can be copied.

xattributes Copy the Linux extended attributes (xattrs) from source to destination. This flag does nothing if the *linuxxattrs* feature is not available (see feature_available).

ownership Copy the owner uid and the group gid of source to destination.

all Copy all the attributes from source to destination. Enabling it enables all the other flags, if they are not specified already.

Parameters:

this	A GuestfsSession object
optargs	a GuestfsCopyAttributes containing optional arguments

Returns:

true on success, false on error
