is true and *src* is a symbolic link, *dst* will be a copy of
the file *src* refers to.
- :func:`copy` copies the file data and the file's permission
+ :func:`~shutil.copy` copies the file data and the file's permission
mode (see :func:`os.chmod`). Other metadata, like the
file's creation and modification times, is not preserved.
To preserve all file metadata from the original, use
*src* and *dst*, and will be used to copy *src* to *dest* if
:func:`os.rename` cannot be used. If the source is a directory,
:func:`copytree` is called, passing it the :func:`copy_function`. The
- default *copy_function* is :func:`copy2`. Using :func:`copy` as the
+ default *copy_function* is :func:`copy2`. Using :func:`~shutil.copy` as the
*copy_function* allows the move to succeed when it is not possible to also
copy the metadata, at the expense of not copying any of the metadata.
