NAME
     //uussrr//bbiinn//MMvvMMaacc - move files while preserving metadata and forks

SYNOPSIS
     //uussrr//bbiinn//MMvvMMaacc source ... directory

DESCRIPTION
     //uussrr//bbiinn//MMvvMMaacc moves each file named by a source operand to a destination
     file in the existing directory named by the directory operand.  The des-
     tination path for each operand is the pathname produced by the concatena-
     tion of the last operand, a slash, and the final pathname component of
     the named file.

     If the destination path does not have a mode that permits writing,
     //uussrr//bbiinn//MMvvMMaacc will return an error.

NNOOTTEESS
     The MMvvMMaacc command does not support the same options as the POSIX mmvv com-
     mand, and is much less flexible in its operands.  It cannot be used as a
     direct substitute for mmvv in scripts.

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

BUGS
     Currently doesn't work across volumes/filesystems.
