Copy or move files between physical and virtual devices

Source: R/move.R
move.Rd

With these functions you can copy or move entries (files and directories) between a physical and virtual ADF device. With copy_adf_entry() the files are duplicated, with move_adf_entry() the files are moved (and deleted from its source).

Usage

copy_adf_entry(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'character'
copy_adf_entry(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
copy_adf_entry(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
copy_adf_entry.character(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
copy_adf_entry.virtual_path(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'character'
copy_adf_entry.virtual_path(source, destination, ...)

move_adf_entry(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'character'
move_adf_entry(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
move_adf_entry(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
move_adf_entry.character(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
move_adf_entry.virtual_path(source, destination, ...)

# S3 method for class 'character'
move_adf_entry.virtual_path(source, destination, ...)

Arguments

source, destination

The source is a path to a file or directory that needs to be moved or copied. destination is a path to a directory to which the source needs to be copied or moved. When source or destination is a character string, it is assumed to be a path to a file or directory on a physical device. You can use a virtual_path() for either the source or destination or both. source and destination cannot both be a character string. For copying and moving files on a physical device you should you base function file.copy().

Examples

## Create an Amiga Disk File
## and prepare a file system on the virtual device
my_device <-
  create_adf_device(
    tempfile(fileext = ".adf"),
    write_protected = FALSE) |>
  prepare_adf_device()

## Copy the packaged R scripts of this package to the virtual device
copy_adf_entry(
  system.file("R", package = "adfExplorer2"),
  virtual_path(my_device, "DF0:")
)

## List all entries on the virtual device
list_adf_entries(my_device, recursive = TRUE)
#> DIR  DEWR...        R
#> FILE DEWR...orer2.rdb
#> FILE DEWR...orer2.rdx
#> FILE DEWR...Explorer2

## Move the entire virtual device content to
## the tempdir on your physical device
dest <- file.path(tempdir(), "DF0")
dir.create(dest)
move_adf_entry(
  virtual_path(my_device, "DF0:"),
  dest
)

## cleanup the temp directory
unlink(dest, recursive = TRUE)

close(my_device)
