# 1. This function preserves as much of file "attributes"
#    (information stored in "inode" in Unix-style file system term)
#    of "$to_path" as possible.
# 2. This function simulates file editing of "$to_path".
# 3. After this function, "$to_path" would be a file associated with
#    a copied "data" from "from_path" and a "inode" from "$to_path".
