Introduction to VLSI Design

Commonly used UN*X commands: mv

The move command is used to change the name and location of a file or directory. The basic usage is:

	mv file1 file2
E.g.
	mv a b 

This command can be used to move files and directories. It must be used with caution: if the destination file already exists it will be overwritten by default. The "-i" (inter-active) switch can be used to override this default. When using the "-i" switch the user will be prompted to confirm if an overwrite is desired.

	mv -i a b 
	mv: overwrite b (yes/no)?
