    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.

    If you are looking for a cross-platform way to do this, have a look at the Boost Filesystem library.

    could you say which mechanisam is more faster and reason behind these mechanisam for copy a folder from one location to other?
    1. I am using 'xcopy' dos command
    2. I am using file read and write method in <stdio.h>
    Will cycle stealing DMA had any role in my first choice ?

    Thanks
    Dave
