    If the optional symlinks flag is true, symbolic links in the

    The optional ignore argument is a callable. If given, it

    being visited by copytree(), and `names` which is the list of

    Since copytree() is called recursively, the callable will be
    called once for each directory that is copied. It returns a
    list of names relative to the `src` directory that should
    not be copied.

    The optional copy_function argument is a callable that will be used
    to copy each file. It will be called with the source path and the
    destination path as arguments. By default, copy2() is used, but any
    function that supports the same signature (like copy()) can be used.
