copy-directory

Arguments: from-dir to-dir &key quiet &

Recursively copy the contents of from-dir to to-dir. If to-dir does not exist, then it is created. copy-file is used to copy the files. Keyword arguments to copy-file are accepted by copy-directory and passed on. The copy-file arguments only affect the copying of files. They do not affect copy-directory's work of copying the directory (or subdirectories). See the description of copy-file for the list of its keyword arguments.
