comp.unix.programmer is likely to give you better answers.  I don't
think POSIX defines any functions that copy files.

If I uunderstand correctly, you want to do the equivalent of "cp -p",
but from C rather than from a shell.  You might consider using system(),
but that has some drawbacks, and there are probably better ways.
