mvdir − move a directory

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/mvdir dirname  name

AVAILABILITY

SUNWcsu

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.

SEE ALSO

mkdir(1), mv(1)

WARNINGS

Only the super-user can use mvdir.
