MVF(1): move files
__________________________________________________
USAGE
usage: mvf [-Ddnuv] [src] dst | src1 src2... dstdir
-D: debug
-d: take always destination as a parent dir
-n: dry run; report moves but do not make them
-u: use unix output
-v: report moves
DESCRIPTION
Mvf moves a single file (or directory) to a target name or
multiple files to a target directory. The destination is the
exact name of the new file, and it is overwritten if it already
exists.
Unlike in UNIX, there is no doubt regarding what the target name
is. It does not matter if the target is or not a directory and if
it exists or not.
When a single file is named as a source in the arguments
(although it might imply a tree of files!), the root of the named
source (perhaps a single file) will become the named target.
When more than one single source is given (again, sources might
imply full trees), the destination is always the parent of the
source roots.
EXAMPLES
Move file ./1 to file /tmp/2.
; lf 1 | mvf /tmp/2
Unlike in UNIX, this is an error in Clive, because the source is
a file and the copy name is a directory:
; lf 1 | mvf /tmp
SOURCE
+o /zx/sys/src/clive/cmd/mvf
SEE ALSO
+o lf(1) to select files to move.
+o pf(1) to copy files.
+o rmf(1) to remove files.
