MV ST-UNIX User's Manual MV
COMMAND
mv - move (rename) files
FORMAT
mv [ -i ] [ -f ] [ - ] fileA fileB
mv [ -i ] [ -f ] [ - ] file ... directory
DESCRIPTION
_✓M_✓v moves (renames) _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e_✓A to _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e_✓B.
If _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e_✓B exists, the previous version is lost unless it is
readonly. If this is the case then the filename is printed
and the user is queried for a response.
One or more _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e_✓s (files or directories) can be moved to a
_✓d_✓i_✓r_✓e_✓c_✓t_✓o_✓r_✓y (retaining the original file-names).
A file cannot be moved onto itself.
OPTIONS
-i interactive mode. No file is moved unless the user
answers 'y' to the prompt.
-f force move. The file will be copied if it is readonly
or copied onto a file with that same name (but in a
different directory).
- allows filenames staring with '-' to be moved.
