- NAME
- mv - move or rename files
-
- SYNOPSIS:
-
- mv file1 file2
-
- mv file ... directory
-
- Mv changes the name of file1 to file2. Mv attempts to use the
- DOS rename function to change the file name. If DOS indicates
- the source and destination are on different devices, the file
- is copied and then deleted. If DOS indicates file2 exists, mv
- attempts to determine whether file1 and file2 are the same file.
- If they appear different, mv deletes file2 and then performs
- the mv function.
-
- The second command form moves one or more files (wildcards OK)
- to the destination disk and/or directory.
-
-
- BUGS:
- DOS 2.x Only.
-
- Wildcards allowed on the file name part only.
-
- Time, date, and file attributes are not preserved in copy operations.
-
- Mv checks the identity of file1 and file2 by comparing file length,
- date, time, and attribute. A better methoud would be to compare
- the device and starting FAT number, but, alas, Microsoft didn't
- understand the Unix(TM) stat call when they made the "Unix style"
- DOS 2.x calls.
