                                Class<? extends FilterReader> filterType)

      Adds a content filter to be used during the copy. Multiple calls to filter, add additional filters to the filter chain. Each filter should implement `java.io.FilterReader`. Include `org.apache.tools.ant.filters.*` for access to all the standard Ant filters.

      Filter properties may be specified using groovy map syntax.

              filter(HeadFilter, lines:25, skip:2)
              filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens:[copyright:'2009', version:'2.3.1'])

      Parameters:
        `properties` - map of filter properties
        `filterType` - Class of filter to add
      Returns:
        this

        this

    - #### filter

          public AbstractCopyTask filter(Closure closure)

      Adds a content filter based on the provided closure. The Closure will be called with each line (stripped of line endings) and should return a String to replace the line or `null` to remove the line. If every line is removed, the result will be an empty file, not an absent one.
      Specified by:
        `filter` in interface `ContentFilterable`
      Specified by:
        `filter` in interface `CopySpec`
      Parameters:
        `closure` - to implement line based filtering
      Returns:
        this

    - #### expand

          public AbstractCopyTask expand(Map<String,?> properties)

      Expands property references in each file as it is copied. More specifically, each file is transformed using Groovy's `SimpleTemplateEngine`. This means you can use simple property references, such as `$property` or `${property}` in the file. You can also include arbitrary Groovy code in the file, such as `${version ?: 'unknown'}` or `${classpath*.name.join(' ')}`

      Specified by:
        `expand` in interface `ContentFilterable`
      Specified by:
        `expand` in interface `CopySpec`
      Parameters:
        `properties` - to implement line based filtering
      Returns:
        this

    - #### getDirMode

          public Integer getDirMode()

      Returns the Unix permissions to use for the target directories. `null` means that existing permissions are preserved. It is dependent on the copy action implementation whether these permissions will actually be applied.
      Specified by:
        `getDirMode` in interface `CopyProcessingSpec`
      Returns:
        The directory permissions, or `null` if existing permissions should be preserved.

    - #### getFileMode

          public Integer getFileMode()

      Returns the Unix permissions to use for the target files. `null` means that existing permissions are preserved. It is dependent on the copy action implementation whether these permissions will actually be applied.
      Specified by:
        `getFileMode` in interface `CopyProcessingSpec`
      Returns:
        The file permissions, or `null` if existing permissions should be preserved.

    - #### setDirMode

          public AbstractCopyTask setDirMode(Integer mode)

      Sets the Unix permissions to use for the target directories. `null` means that existing permissions are preserved. It is dependent on the copy action implementation whether these permissions will actually be applied.
      Specified by:
        `setDirMode` in interface `CopyProcessingSpec`
      Parameters:
        `mode` - The directory permissions.
      Returns:
        this

    - #### setFileMode

          public AbstractCopyTask setFileMode(Integer mode)

      Sets the Unix permissions to use for the target files. `null` means that existing permissions are preserved. It is dependent on the copy action implementation whether these permissions will actually be applied.
      Specified by:
        `setFileMode` in interface `CopyProcessingSpec`
      Parameters:
        `mode` - The file permissions.
      Returns:
        this

    - #### eachFile

          public AbstractCopyTask eachFile(Action<? super FileCopyDetails> action)

      Adds an action to be applied to each file as it is about to be copied into its destination. The action can change the destination path of the file, filter the contents of the file, or exclude the file from the result entirely. Actions are executed in the order added, and are inherited from the parent spec.
      Specified by:
        `eachFile` in interface `CopyProcessingSpec`
      Specified by:
        `eachFile` in interface `CopySpec`
      Parameters:

      Returns:
        this

    - #### eachFile

          public AbstractCopyTask eachFile(Closure closure)

      Adds an action to be applied to each file as it about to be copied into its destination. The given closure is called with a `FileCopyDetails` as its parameter. Actions are executed in the order added, and are inherited from the parent spec.
      Specified by:
        `eachFile` in interface `CopyProcessingSpec`
      Specified by:
        `eachFile` in interface `CopySpec`
      Parameters:

        this

    - #### getFilteringCharset

          public String getFilteringCharset()

      Gets the charset used to read and write files when filtering. By default, the JVM default charset is used.

        `getFilteringCharset` in interface `CopySpec`
      Returns:
        the charset used to read and write files when filtering

    - #### setFilteringCharset
