In fs: Cross-Platform File System Operations Based on 'libuv'

#' Copy files, directories or links
#'
#' @description
#' `file_copy()` copies files.
#'
#' `link_copy()` creates a new link pointing to the same location as the previous link.
#'
#' `dir_copy()` copies the directory recursively at the new location.
#' @details
#' The behavior of `dir_copy()` differs slightly than that of `file.copy()` when
#' `overwrite = TRUE`. The directory will always be copied to `new_path`, even
#' if the name differs from the basename of `path`.
#' @param new_path A character vector of paths to the new locations.
#' @param overwrite Overwrite files if they exist. If this is `FALSE` and the
#'   file exists an error will be thrown.
#' @template fs
#' @return The new path (invisibly).
