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, dir-
     name  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  dir-
                name.


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.
