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,
     dirname  will  be created as name/dirname. dirname and  name
     may not be on the same path; that is, one may not be  subor-
     dinate to the other. For example:

          example% mvdir x/y x/z

     is legal, but

          example% mvdir x/y x/y/z

     is not.
