<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
<EM>Mv</EM> moves one or more files from one place in the file system to another.
|
|
If the old path and new path are on the same device, it is done by
|
|
renaming otherwise by copying. If you're not superuser, the copy will
|
|
destroy the file's owner, group and setuid/setgid bits. <EM>mv</EM> will prompt
|
|
before removing non-writable files if <STRONG>stdin</STRONG> is a terminal or the <STRONG>-i</STRONG> flag
|
|
was specified.
