This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be
inaccurate or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now
the authoritative source.
This manual page documents the GNU version of mmmmvvvv. If the
last argument names an existing directory, mmmmvvvv moves each
other given file into a file with the same name in that
directory. Otherwise, if only two files are given, it moves
the first onto the second. It is an error if the last
argument is not a directory and more than two files are
given. It can move only regular files across filesystems.
If a destination file is unwritable, the standard input is a
tty, and the -_f or --_f_o_r_c_e option is not given, mmmmvvvv prompts
the user for whether to overwrite the file. If the response
does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
-_b, --_b_a_c_k_u_p
Make backups of files that are about to be removed.
-_f, --_f_o_r_c_e
Remove existing destination files and never prompt the
user.
-_i, --_i_n_t_e_r_a_c_t_i_v_e
Prompt whether to overwrite each destination file that
already exists. If the response does not begin with
`y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
-_u, --_u_p_d_a_t_e
Do not move a nondirectory that has an existing
destination with the same or newer modification time.
-_v, --_v_e_r_b_o_s_e
Print the name of each file before moving it.
--_h_e_l_p
Print a usage message on standard output and exit

successfully.
--_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
Print version information on standard output then exit
successfully.

The suffix used for making simple backup files can be
set with the SSSSIIIIMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEE____BBBBAAAACCCCKKKKUUUUPPPP____SSSSUUUUFFFFFFFFIIIIXXXX environment variable,
which can be overridden by this option. If neither of
those is given, the default is `~', as it is in Emacs.
-_V, --_v_e_r_s_i_o_n-_c_o_n_t_r_o_l {_n_u_m_b_e_r_e_d,_e_x_i_s_t_i_n_g,_s_i_m_p_l_e}
The type of backups made can be set with the
VVVVEEEERRRRSSSSIIIIOOOONNNN____CCCCOOOONNNNTTTTRRRROOOOLLLL environment variable, which can be
overridden by this option. If VVVVEEEERRRRSSSSIIIIOOOONNNN____CCCCOOOONNNNTTTTRRRROOOOLLLL is not
set and this option is not given, the default backup
type is `existing'. The value of the VVVVEEEERRRRSSSSIIIIOOOONNNN____CCCCOOOONNNNTTTTRRRROOOOLLLL
environment variable and the argument to this option
are like the GNU Emacs `version-control' variable; they
also recognize synonyms that are more descriptive. The
valid values are (unique abbreviations are accepted):
`t' or `numbered'
Always make numbered backups.
`nil' or `existing'
Make numbered backups of files that already have
them, simple backups of the others.
`never' or `simple'
Always make simple backups.
