How to copy files securely and quickly

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 91 views

I'm looking for a safe and fast way to copy binary/text files I wonder what other people write besides what I've found so far

Please let me know if there is a problem with my code

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>    // fopen, fclose, fread, fwrite, BUFSIZ
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    clock_t start, end;
    start = clock();

    // The default BUFSIZE is 8192 bytes
    // The multiple of 1024 fits the block size perfectly, and the larger the value, the faster the system call.
    // // size_t BUFFER_SIZE = 4096

    char buf[BUFSIZ];
    size_t size;

    FILE* source = fopen("from.ogv", "rb");
    FILE* dest = fopen("to.ogv", "wb");

    while (size = fread(buf, 1, BUFSIZ, source)) {
        fwrite(buf, 1, size, dest);
    }

    fclose(source);
    fclose(dest);

    end = clock();

    cout << "CLOCKS_PER_SEC " << CLOCKS_PER_SEC << "\n";
    cout << "CPU-TIME START " << start << "\n";
    cout << "CPU-TIME END " << end << "\n";
    cout << "CPU-TIME END - START " << end - start << "\n";
    cout << "TIME(SEC) " << static_cast<double>(end - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC << "\n";

    return 0;
}

    start = clock();

    // // BUFSIZE defaults to 8192    
    // The multiple of 1024 fits the block size perfectly, and the larger the value, the faster the system call.
    // // size_t BUFFER_SIZE = 4096

    char buf[BUFSIZ];
    size_t size;

    int source = open("from.ogv", O_RDONLY, 0);
    int dest = open("to.ogv", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT /*| O_TRUNC/**/, 0644);

    while ((size = read(source, buf, BUFSIZ)) > 0) {

One of the ways that I know isn't here is

int main()
{
    std::ifstream  src("from.ogv", std::ios::binary);
    std::ofstream  dst("to.ogv",   std::ios::binary);

    dst << src.rdbuf();
}

I think that's about it. And I already know that the following copyfile() function exists in the header file copyfile.h related to file copy in C. From OS X Man Pages

int copyfile(const char *from, const char *to, copyfile_state_t state, copyfile_flags_t flags);
