## Interface FileCopyDetails

- All Superinterfaces:
    `ContentFilterable`, `FileTreeElement`

      @NonExtensible
      public interface FileCopyDetails
      extends FileTreeElement, ContentFilterable

  Provides details about a file or directory about to be copied, and allows some aspects of the destination file to be modified.

  Using this interface, you can change the destination path of the file, filter the content of the file, or exclude the file from the result entirely.

  Access to the source file itself after any filters have been added is not a supported operation.

    - #### exclude

          void exclude()

      Excludes this file from the copy.

    - #### setName

          void setName​(java.lang.String name)

      Sets the destination name of this file.
      Parameters:
        `name` - The destination name of this file.

    - #### setPath

          void setPath​(java.lang.String path)

      Sets the destination path of this file.
      Parameters:
        `path` - The path of this file.

    - #### setRelativePath

          void setRelativePath​(RelativePath path)

      Sets the destination path of this file.
      Parameters:
        `path` - the new path for this file.

    - #### setMode

          void setMode​(int mode)

      Sets the Unix permissions of this file.
      Parameters:
        `mode` - the Unix permissions, e.g. `0644`.
      API Note:
        Consider using `permissions(Action)` instead.

    - #### permissions

          @Incubating
          void permissions​(Action<? super ConfigurableFilePermissions> configureAction)

      Configuration action for specifying file and directory access permissions. For details see `ConfigurableFilePermissions`.
      Since:
        8.3

    - #### setPermissions

          @Incubating
          void setPermissions​(FilePermissions permissions)

      Set file and directory access permissions based on an externally provided permission instance. For details see `ConfigurableFilePermissions`.
      Since:
        8.3

    - #### setDuplicatesStrategy

          void setDuplicatesStrategy​(DuplicatesStrategy strategy)

      The strategy to use if there is already a file at this file's destination.

    - #### getDuplicatesStrategy

          DuplicatesStrategy getDuplicatesStrategy()

      The strategy to use if there is already a file at this file's destination.

      The value can be set with a case-insensitive string of the enum value (e.g. `'exclude'` for `DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE`).

      Returns:
        the strategy to use for this file.

          java.lang.String getSourceName()

      Returns the base name of this file at the copy source.
      Returns:
        The source name. Never returns null.

    - #### getSourcePath

          java.lang.String getSourcePath()

      Returns the path of this file, relative to the root of the containing file tree.

      Always uses '/' as the hierarchy separator, regardless of platform file separator. Same as calling `getRelativeSourcePath().getPathString()`.

      Returns:
        The path, relative to the root of the containing file tree. Never returns null.

    - #### getRelativeSourcePath

          RelativePath getRelativeSourcePath()

      Returns the path of this file, relative to the root of the containing file tree.
      Returns:
        The path, relative to the root of the containing file tree. Never returns null.
