Copy layer betwen images

What is the correct way to copy a layer from one image to another, using the API?

Quoting David Hodson :

I am not certain of its correctness, but I would use the PDB function 'gimp-layer-new-from-drawable'.

In Script-fu:

(define new-layer (car (gimp-layer-new-from-drawable source-layer destination-image)))

(gimp-image-add-layer destination-image new-layer position)

'position' is the location in the layerstack (0=top; -1 means place the new layer above the active layer). Note that any layermask will also be copied and that the original layermode is retained.

Great, that seems to do the trick. Thanks.
