Description
drop-in replacement for file.rename that correctly handles
renames across filesystems on linux
- copies the file from filesystem A to filesystem B
- only if the copy succeeded, delete the file from filesystem B
Usage
1
safeFileRename(from, to)
Arguments
from
character vector giving filename or path
to
character vector giving filename or path
Value
logical vector,rv, that is TRUE for each successful rename, FALSE elsewhere
Upon returning:
the files 'from[rv]' no longer exist, and their contents are now stored in files 'to[rv]'.
the files 'from[! rv]' and 'to[! rv]' are preserved, if they already existed, and
are not created if they didn't already exist.
i.e. unsuccesful renaming leaves source and destination items as they were.
