source - the file to be replicated. The source may be:
- A GUID. The SE will be chosen automatically.
- An LFN. The SE will be chosen automatically.
- An SURL. The given SE will be used as the source for this file.
dest - The physical destination. dest may be specified in three different ways:
- As a fully qualified storage file name (SURL). If this file already exists, the operation fails.
- Only the host of the SE where the file should be stored, i.e. the URI was constructed just by giving it a host string, which will be stored in the URI path. The storage location will be determined automatically depending on the user's VO and a suitable file name will be chosen.
- If no destination is specified at all (i.e. the argument is null, the `closest' SE is located and the file is replicated to it as in the previous case (if it's not already available there)).
protocol - (optional) The protocol to be used (can be null in which case the default protocol for the given destination SE is used)
nstreams - (optional) The number of parallel streams to be used for the copy. If zero or less than zero, the default is used.
