# mv

|
|
|
|
- Rename a file or directory when the target is not an existing directory:
|
|
|
|
`mv {{path/to/source}} {{path/to/target}}`
|
|
|
|
- Move a file or directory into an existing directory:
|
|
|
|
`mv {{path/to/source}} {{path/to/existing_directory}}`
|
|
|
|
- Move multiple files into an existing directory, keeping the filenames unchanged:
|
|
|
|
`mv {{path/to/source1 path/to/source2 ...}} {{path/to/existing_directory}}`
|
|
|
|
- Do not prompt ([f]) for confirmation before overwriting existing files:
|
|
|
|
`mv --force {{path/to/source}} {{path/to/target}}`
|
|
|
|
- Prompt for confirmation [i]nteractively before overwriting existing files, regardless of file permissions:
|
|
|
|
`mv --interactive {{path/to/source}} {{path/to/target}}`
|
|
|
|
- Do not overwrite ([n]) existing files at the target:
|
|
|
|
`mv --no-clobber {{path/to/source}} {{path/to/target}}`
|
|
|
|
- Move files in [v]erbose mode, showing files after they are moved:
|
|
|
|
`mv --verbose {{path/to/source}} {{path/to/target}}`
|
|
|
|
- Specify target directory (convenient in situations when the target directory has to be the first argument):
|
|
|
|
`ls | {{parallel|xargs}} mv -t {{path/to/target_directory}}`
