libcopyfile

Library for copying files on FreeBSD, ported from an old version of macOS' copyfile. It was modified to function correctly on FreeBSD, but because of differences between macOS & FreeBSD, not everything works as expected!

Previously, this port was found in aquabsd-pkg-repo, but to work better as a singular dependency for use in other projects, I've temporarily split this out into a separate repo. Temporary you say? Yes, Temporary™! I'd like this to be reimplemented (still keeping with a similar API to copyfile and likely incorporating a lot of Apple's code) into a generic filesystem manipulation library, something along the lines of libfsutils, which includes other useful stuff, like recursive versions of a lot of the POSIX FS functions, and perhaps even some filesystem creation functionality. But that's not for right now 😉
