Re: copy_file_preserving variant that doesn't exit on error?

[Reuben Thomas]

Here's a revised version of my patch.

Is there no way to deal with error messages normally, i.e. via
gnulib's strerror? Then the error-returning copy_file_preserving could
replace the aborting version, and users who want to could check the
return code and issue errors in the usual way.

If that's not possible, then I suggest the unwieldy but less
misleading name copy_file_preserving_with_error rather than
copy_file_preserving_error for the error-returning version.
