NAME

mv - move (rename) a file



SYNOPSIS

mv file1 file2



DESCRIPTION

Mv changes the name of "file1" to "file2".
If "file2" already exists, it is overwritten.
Mv usually performs a "rename" operation, but in cases
where this fails, it copies "file1" to "file2"
and then deletes "file1".



FILES

None



SEE ALSO

rm

BUGS/DEFICIENCIES

Results may be strange if the terminal is specified as
either file.

If mv must copy "file1", it does so assuming that
"file1" is a character file.
