NAME

ttmv − move or rename files in a ToolTalk-safe way

SYNOPSIS

ttmv [ − ] [ −fL ] pathname1 pathname2
ttmv [ − ] [ −fL ] pathname ... directory
ttmv -v
ttmv -h

DESCRIPTION

ttmv invokes mv(1) to move files and directories around in the file system and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the TT objects associated with the itinerant files and directories can be moved at the same time. 

OPTIONS

- Treat the following arguments as filenames so that you can specify filenames starting with a minus. 

-f Force. Do not report any errors, and pass the -f option to mv(1). 

-L Move the TT objects of the files, but do not invoke mv(1) to move the actual files. 

-v Print the version of ttmv. 

-h Print usage information for ttmv. 

FILES

/mountpoint/TT_DB This directory is used as a database for the ToolTalk objects of files in the filesystem mounted at /mountpoint.

SEE ALSO

mv(1), ttsession(1)

BUGS

The -i (interactive) option of mv(1) is not supported. 

ttmv moves the TT objects before it moves the files and does not check whether the latter operation will succeed before performing the former.
