`copy` copies directories recursively.

# Example Usage

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	cp "github.com/otiai10/copy"
)

func main() {
	err := cp.Copy("your/src", "your/dest")
	fmt.Println(err) // nil
}
```

# Advanced Usage

```go
// Options specifies optional actions on copying.
type Options struct {

	// OnSymlink can specify what to do on symlink
	OnSymlink func(src string) SymlinkAction

	// OnDirExists can specify what to do when there is a directory already existing in destination.
	OnDirExists func(src, dest string) DirExistsAction

	// OnError can let users decide how to handle errors (e.g., you can suppress specific error).
	OnError func(src, dest, string, err error) error

	// Skip can specify which files should be skipped
	Skip func(srcinfo os.FileInfo, src, dest string) (bool, error)

	// PermissionControl can control permission of
	// every entry.
	// When you want to add permission 0222, do like
	//
	//		PermissionControl = AddPermission(0222)
	//
	// or if you even don't want to touch permission,
	//
	//		PermissionControl = DoNothing
	//
	// By default, PermissionControl = PreservePermission
	PermissionControl PermissionControlFunc

	// Sync file after copy.
	// Useful in case when file must be on the disk
	// (in case crash happens, for example),
	// at the expense of some performance penalty
	Sync bool

	// Preserve the atime and the mtime of the entries
	// On linux we can preserve only up to 1 millisecond accuracy
	PreserveTimes bool

	// Preserve the uid and the gid of all entries.
	PreserveOwner bool

	// The byte size of the buffer to use for copying files.
	// If zero, the internal default buffer of 32KB is used.
	// See https://golang.org/pkg/io/#CopyBuffer for more information.
	CopyBufferSize uint
}
```

```go
// For example...
opt := Options{
	Skip: func(info os.FileInfo, src, dest string) (bool, error) {
		return strings.HasSuffix(src, ".git"), nil
	},
}
err := Copy("your/directory", "your/directory.copy", opt)
```
