class qgis.core.QgsVectorLayerExporterTask(layer: QgsVectorLayer, uri: str, providerKey: str, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, options: Dict[str, Any] = {}, ownsLayer: bool = False)

Bases: QgsTask

Constructor for QgsVectorLayerExporterTask. Takes a source layer, destination uri and providerKey, and various export related parameters such as destination CRS and export options. ownsLayer has to be set to true if the task should take ownership of the layer and delete it after export.
