NAME
mvdir - move a directory
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mvdir dirname nameDESCRIPTION
mvdir moves directories within a file system.
dirname must be a
directory. If
name does not exist, it will be created as a directory.
If
name does exist, and is a directory,
dirname will be created as
name/dirname.
dirname and
name may not be on the same path; that is,
one may not be subordinate to the other. For example:
example% mvdir x/y x/z is legal, but
example% mvdir x/y x/y/z is not.
OPERANDS
dirname The name of the directory that is to be moved to another
directory in the filesystem.
name The name of the directory into which
dirname is to be
moved. If
name does not exist, it will be created. It may
not be on the same path as
dirname.
