Allegro CL version 6.2
Unrevised from 6.1

copy-directory

Arguments: from-dir to-dir &key quiet &

Recursively copy the contents of from-dir to to-dir. If to-dir does not exist, then it is created. copy-file is used to copy the files--all keyword arguments to copy-file are accepted by copy-directory and passed on. These arguments are

link preserve-symbolic-links (element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)) (preserve-time t)

See the description of copy-file for details on these arguments. Note that preserve-symbolic-links and link are ignored on Windows since symbolic links are not supported on Windows.

See also os-interface.htm for general information on the interface between Allegro CL and the operating system. See section Environment functions in that document for information on file and directory information and manipulation functions in Allegro CL.
