The command refuses to move a file onto itself. Options -c Copies binary to destination. -g group Specifies a different group from group staff for destination. The destination is changed to group system; the -g group option may be used to specify a different group. The user must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the file or the superuser. -m mode Specifies a different mode from the standard 755 for destination. -o owner Specifies a different owner from owner root for destination.
