`IPython.utils.path:link_or_copy`

source: /IPython/utils/path.py :303

Signature

def link_or_copy ( src , dst )

Summary

Attempts to hardlink src to dst, copying if the link fails.

Extended Summary

Attempts to maintain the semantics of shutil.copy.

Because os.link does not overwrite files, a unique temporary file will be used if the target already exists, then that file will be moved into place.
