       is copied there with the same name; otherwise, it must be a
       filename.  (If the file exists, it will be ruthlessly clobbered.)
       If 'preserve_mode' is true (the default), the file's mode (type
       and permission bits, or whatever is analogous on the current
       platform) is copied.  If 'preserve_times' is true (the default),
       the last-modified and last-access times are copied as well.  If
       'update' is true, 'src' will only be copied if 'dst' does not
       exist, or if 'dst' does exist but is older than 'src'.  If
       'verbose' is true, then a one-line summary of the copy will be
       printed to stdout.

       'link' allows you to make hard links (os.link) or symbolic links
       (os.symlink) instead of copying: set it to "hard" or "sym"; if it
       is None (the default), files are copied.  Don't set 'link' on
       systems that don't support it: 'copy_file()' doesn't check if
       hard or symbolic linking is available.
