Dear All,
What are the steps taken when we copy a file from one location to another.
Suppose there is a file C:\a.txt
I move it to D:\b.txt then what are the steps.
Thanks in advance

A copy or a move?
A copy is just read from source, write to destination - but you can NEVER
make anything that can even with 50% certainty if a file is being copied or
just read.
For move, a move can be a rename on the same volume, or copy + delete of
source. Again, you cannot tell this with certainty.
Usually, a move or copy CAN be detected by comparing file names and last
modified time.
This is how Explorer and any decent file manager copies files.
