Hi Carlo,

I just wanted to point out native_file_string is part of boost::filesystem::path and copy_file and rename_file (actually called rename) are part of boost::filesystem (operations.hpp).

As far as file size I think you can get it from the stream.

Yes, but std::streamoff is not guaranteed to be large enough to hold the size of really huge files.

really? how'd the committee manage to mess that one up? or are you saying some implementations are deficient in their specification of std::streamoff?

operations.hpp in the current CVS contains this:

boost::intmax_t file_size( const path & ph );
