NAME
     /usr/bin/MvMac -- move files while preserving metadata and forks

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/MvMac source ... directory

DESCRIPTION
     /usr/bin/MvMac moves each file named by a source operand to a destination file in the existing directory named by the directory operand.  The
     destination path for each operand is the pathname produced by the concatenation of the last operand, a slash, and the final pathname compo-
     nent of the named file.

     If the destination path does not have a mode that permits writing, /usr/bin/MvMac will return an error.

NOTES
     The MvMac command does not support the same options as the POSIX mv command, and is much less flexible in its operands.  It cannot be used as
     a direct substitute for mv in scripts.

     As of Mac OS X 10.4, the mv command preserves metadata and resource forks of files on Extended HFS volumes, so it can be used in place of
     MvMac. The MvMac command will be deprecated in future versions of Mac OS X.

BUGS
     Currently doesn't work across volumes/filesystems.
