Here is the description from the MSDN CD.
CopyFile
The CopyFile function copies an existing file to a new file.
The CopyFileEx function provides two additional capabilities.
CopyFileEx can call a specified callback function each time a
portion of the copy operation is completed, and CopyFileEx can be
canceled during the copy operation.
BOOL CopyFile(
LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName, // name of an existing file
LPCTSTR lpNewFileName, // name of new file
BOOL bFailIfExists // operation if file exists
);
Parameters
lpExistingFileName
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of
an existing file.
Windows NT/2000: In the ANSI version of this function, the name is
limited to MAX_PATH characters. To extend this limit to nearly
32,000 wide characters, call the Unicode version of the function and
prepend "\\?\" to the path. For more information, see File Name
Conventions.
Windows 95/98: This string must not exceed MAX_PATH characters.
lpNewFileName
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of
the new file.
Windows NT/2000: In the ANSI version of this function, the name is
limited to MAX_PATH characters. To extend this limit to nearly
32,000 wide characters, call the Unicode version of the function and
prepend "\\?\" to the path. For more information, see File Name
Conventions.
Windows 95/98: This string must not exceed MAX_PATH characters.
bFailIfExists
[in] Specifies how this operation is to proceed if a file of the
same name as that specified by lpNewFileName already exists. If this
parameter is TRUE and the new file already exists, the function
fails. If this parameter is FALSE and the new file already exists,
the function overwrites the existing file and succeeds.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended
error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Security attributes for the existing file are not copied to the new
file.
File attributes for the existing file are copied to the new file.
For example, if an existing file has the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
file attribute, a copy created through a call to CopyFile will also
have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY file attribute.
MAPI: For more information, see Syntax and Limitations for Win32
Functions Useful in MAPI Development.
Requirements
Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later.
Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 95 or later.
Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Kernel32.lib.
Unicode: Implemented as Unicode and ANSI versions on Windows
NT/2000.
