In GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
of Thu Oct 12 2000 on pcg-c1
configured using `configure --with-x --with-gcc'
I found an inconsistency of copy-file's doc string to its argument's
name. One call it KEEP-TIME and one call it KEEP-DATE.
copy-file is an interactive built-in function.
Copy FILE to NEWNAME. Both args must be strings.
Signals a `file-already-exists' error if file NEWNAME already exists,
unless a third argument OK-IF-ALREADY-EXISTS is supplied and non-nil.
A number as third arg means request confirmation if NEWNAME already exists.
This is what happens in interactive use with M-x.
Fourth arg KEEP-TIME non-nil means give the new file the same
last-modified time as the old one. (This works on only some systems.)
A prefix arg makes KEEP-TIME non-nil.
(copy-file FILE NEWNAME &optional OK-IF-ALREADY-EXISTS KEEP-DATE)
