-- mv -- Move (rename) files. Synonym: move, ren, rename Usage: mv [item2] [...] This command will move one or more files or directories. If one item is being moved, then the last argument can be either the new name, or else can be a destination directory -- in which case the moved file will retain the same name as before. If multiple items are being moved, then the last argument must be a directory name and all moved items will retain the same names.
