mvdir(ADM)


mvdir -- move a directory

Syntax

/etc/mvdir dirname newdirname

Description

mvdir moves directories within a filesystem. The directory (dirname) must be a directory. If there is already a directory or file with the same name as newdirname, mvdir fails.

Neither name may be a subset of the other. For example, you cannot move a directory named /x/y to /x/y/z, and vice versa.

Limitations

mvdir has been made obsolete by the enhanced mv(C).
