s is False), self will be copied over as a new symlink with the same target as returned by os.readlink. That means that if it is absolute, both the old and new symlink will link to the same thing. If it's relative, then perhaps not (and it's also possible that this relative link will be broken). File/directory permissions and ownership will NOT be copied over. If followLinks is True, symlinks are followed so that they're treated as their targets. In other words, if self is a link, the link's target will be copied. If destination is a link, self will be copied to the destination's target (the actual destination will be destination's target). Symlinks under self (if self is a directory) will be followed and its target's children be copied recursively. If followLinks is False, symlinks will be copied over as symlinks. @param destination: the destination (a FilePath) to which self should be copied @param followLinks: whether symlinks in self should be treated as links or as their targets Nr…
