Exceptions

sourceUri is null or destinationUri is null.

sourceUri does not exist.

The parent of destinationUri does not exist.

sourceUri refers to a file, destinationUri already exists and overwrite is false. ErrorCode will be set to FileAlreadyExists.

The caller does not have the required permission.

Remarks

If sourceUri refers to a directory and overwrite is true, destinationUri is removed before the copy is performed. If sourceUri refers to a directory and overwrite is false, the source directory is merged into the existing contents of the destination directory.
