The appendix part of the archive name, if any.

The base name of the archive.

The classifier part of the archive name, if any.

The extension part of the archive name.

TheRegularFile where the archive is constructed.The path is simply thedestinationDirectory plus thearchiveFileName.

The archive name. If the name has not been explicitly set, the pattern for the name is:[archiveBaseName]-[archiveAppendix]-[archiveVersion]-[archiveClassifier].[archiveExtension]

The version part of the archive name.

Specifies whether case-sensitive pattern matching should be used.

The compression that is used for this archive.

The directory where the archive will be placed.

Property for querying and configuring directory access permissions.If the property has no value set, that means that existing permissions are preserved.It is dependent on the copy action implementation whether these permissions will actually be applied.For details seeConfigurableFilePermissions.

The strategy to use when trying to copy more than one file to the same destination.

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

This strategy can be overridden for individual files by usingCopySpec.eachFile(org.gradle.api.Action) orCopySpec.filesMatching(java.lang.String, org.gradle.api.Action).

The set of exclude patterns.

Property for querying and configuring file access permissions.If the property has no value set, that means that existing permissions are preserved.It is dependent on the copy action implementation whether these permissions will actually be applied.For details seeConfigurableFilePermissions.

Tells if empty target directories will be included in the copy.

The set of include patterns.

Specifies whether file timestamps should be preserved in the archive.

Iffalse this ensures that archive entries have the same time for builds between different machines, Java versions and operating systems.

Specifies whether to enforce a reproducible file order when reading files from directories.

Gradle will then walk the directories on disk which are part of this archive in a reproducible orderindependent of file systems and operating systems.This helps Gradle reliably produce byte-for-byte reproducible archives.

The source files for this task.

Adds an action to be applied to each file as it about to be copied into its destination. The given closure iscalled with aFileCopyDetails as its parameter. Actions are executed in the orderadded, and are inherited from the parent spec.

Adds an action to be applied to each file as it is about to be copied into its destination. The action can changethe destination path of the file, filter the contents of the file, or exclude the file from the result entirely.Actions are executed in the order added, and are inherited from the parent spec.

Adds an exclude spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs.The given closure is passed aFileTreeElement as its parameter. The closure should return true or false. Example:

copySpec {  from'source'  into'destination'//an example of excluding files from certain configuration:  exclude { it.file in configurations.someConf.files }}

If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not matchany exclude pattern to be processed.

Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiplepatterns may be specified in a single call.If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not matchany exclude pattern to be processed.

Expands property references in each file as it is copied. More specifically, each file is transformed usingGroovy'sSimpleTemplateEngine. This means you can use simple property references, such as$property or${property} in the file. You can also include arbitrary Groovy code in thefile, such as${version ?: 'unknown'} or${classpath*.name.join(' ')}

Note that all escape sequences (\n,\t,\\, etc) are converted to the symbolsthey represent, so, for example,\n becomes newline. If this is undesirable thenContentFilterable.expand(java.util.Map, org.gradle.api.Action)should be used to disable this behavior.

Note that by default all escape sequences (\n,\t,\\, etc) are converted to the symbolsthey represent, so, for example,\n becomes newline. This behavior is controlled byExpandDetails.getEscapeBackslash() property. It should be set totrue to disable escape sequencesconversion:

expand(one:'1', two:2) {    escapeBackslash = true}

Configure theFileCopyDetails for each file whose path matches any of the specified Ant-style patterns.This is equivalent to using eachFile() and selectively applying a configuration based on the file's path.

Adds a content filter based on the provided closure. The Closure will be called with each line (stripped of lineendings) and should return a String to replace the line ornull to remove the line. If every line isremoved, the result will be an empty file, not an absent one.

Adds a content filter to be used during the copy. Multiple calls to filter, add additional filters to thefilter chain. Each filter should implementjava.io.FilterReader. Includeorg.apache.tools.ant.filters.* for access to all the standard Ant filters.

Examples:

filter(StripJavaComments)filter(com.mycompany.project.CustomFilter)

Adds a content filter to be used during the copy. Multiple calls to filter, add additional filters to thefilter chain. Each filter should implementjava.io.FilterReader. Includeorg.apache.tools.ant.filters.* for access to all the standard Ant filters.

Filter properties may be specified using groovy map syntax.

Examples:

filter(HeadFilter, lines:25, skip:2)filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens:[copyright:'2009', version:'2.3.1'])

Adds a content filter based on the provided transformer. The Closure will be called with each line (stripped of lineendings) and should return a String to replace the line ornull to remove the line. If every line isremoved, the result will be an empty file, not an absent one.

Specifies the source files or directories for a copy and creates a childCopySourceSpec. The given sourcepath is evaluated as perProject.files(java.lang.Object[]) .

Adds an include spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs. The given closure is passed aFileTreeElement as its parameter.If includes are not provided, then all files in this container will be included. If includes are provided, then afile must match at least one of the include patterns or specs to be included.

Renames a source file. The closure will be called with a single parameter, the name of the file.The closure should return a String object with a new target name. The closure may return null,in which case the original name will be used.

Renames files based on a regular expression. Uses java.util.regex type of regular expressions. Note that thereplace string should use the '$1' syntax to refer to capture groups in the source regular expression. Filesthat do not match the source regular expression will be copied with the original name.

Example:

rename'(.*)_OEM_BLUE_(.*)','$1$2'

would map the file 'style_OEM_BLUE_.css' to 'style.css'

Renames files based on a regular expression. SeeCopyProcessingSpec.rename(java.lang.String, java.lang.String).
