NAME
     tt_file_copy - copy objects from one file to a new file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Tt/tt_c.h>
     Tt_status tt_file_copy(const char *oldfilepath,
                            const char *newfilepath);

DESCRIPTION
     The tt_file_copy() function copies all objects that exist on the
     specified file to a new file.  If any objects already exist on
     newfilepath, they are not overwritten by the copy (that is, they are not
     removed.)

     The oldfilepath argument is a pointer to the name of the file whose
     objects are to be copied.  The newfilepath argument is a pointer to the
     name of the file on which to create the copied objects.
