Hope this helps!
From Apple documentation for NSFileManager movePath:
"If source is a file, the method creates a file at destination that
holds the exact contents of the original file and then deletes the
original file. If source is a directory, movePath:toPath:handler:
creates a new directory at destination and recursively populates it with
duplicates of the files and directories contained in source."
This is really heavyweight
No, it's not heavy at all - you've just misunderstood what it does.
When the above says "creates a file at destination", it's talking
about creating a new directory entry that points to the same data, not
about copying the data.
I don't see any way that you could read this entry without interpreting
it as "directories are copied element-by-element." There's no ambiguity
at all.
