mmove(1) mtools-3.9.1 (10Jun98) mmove(1)
Name
mmove - move or rename an MSDOS file or subdirectory
Note
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
texinfo documentation. However, this process is only
approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences,
footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.
Indeed, this items have no appropriate representation in the
manpage format. Moreover, only the items specific to each
command have been translated, and the general information
about mtools has been dropped in the manpage version. Thus
I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run
the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at:
`http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info
mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
Description
The mmove command is used to moves or renames an existing
MS-DOS file or subdirectory. mmove [-voOsSrRA] sourcefile
targetfile mmove [-voOsSrRA] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ]
targetdirectory
Mmove moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file or
subdirectory. Unlike the MS-DOS version of MOVE, mmove is
able to move subdirectories. Files or directories can only
be moved within one filesystem. Data cannot be moved from
Dos to Unix or vice-versa. If you omit the drive letter

mmove(1) mtools-3.9.1 (10Jun98) mmove(1)
from the target file or directory, the same letter as for
the source is assumed. If you omit the drive letter from
all parameters, drive a: is assumed by default.
