+### `boolean copyFromLocalFile(boolean delSrc, boolean overwrite, Path src,
Path dst)`
+
+The source file or directory at `src` is on the local disk and is copied into
the file system at
+destination `dst`. If the source should be deleted after the move then
`delSrc` flag needs to be
+set to TRUE. If destination already exists, and the destination contents
should be overwritten
+then `overwrite` flag should be set to TRUE.
+
+#### Preconditions
+
+The source file or directory must exist:
+
+ if not exists(FS, src) : raise FileNotFoundException
+
+Directories cannot be copied into files regardless to what the overwrite flag
is set to:
+
+ if isDir(FS, src) && isFile(FS, dst) : raise PathExistsException
+
+If destination exists and the above precondition holds then the overwrite flag
must be set to TRUE
Review comment:
Bad wording on my part; the `above precondition` was referring to the
fact that `Directories cannot be copied into files regardless to what the
overwrite flag is set to`, so what the sentence should say is: `For all cases,
except the one for which the above precondition throws, the overwrite flag must
be set to TRUE for the operation to succeed. This will also overwrite any files
/ directories at the destination.`
