NAME

mvdir − move a directory

SYNOPSIS

/etc/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, 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:

mvdir x/y x/z

is legal, but

mvdir x/y x/y/z

is not. 

SEE ALSO

mkdir(1), mv(1). 

WARNINGS

Only the super-user can use mvdir.
