mvdir(1M) System Administration Commands mvdir(1M)
NAME
mvdir - move a directory
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mvdir dirname name
DESCRIPTION
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.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mvdir when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful operation.
>0 Operation failed.
