mvdir(1M)		System Administration Commands		     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 direc‐
       tory. 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.

OPERANDS
       dirname	       The  name  of  the  directory  that  is	to be moved to
		       another directory in the filesystem.

       name	       The name of the directory into which dirname is	to  be
		       moved.  If  name does not exist, it will be created. It
		       may not be on the same path as dirname.

USAGE
       See largefile(5) for the description of	the  behavior  of  mvdir  when
       encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

EXIT STATUS
       0	Successful operation.

       >0	Operation failed.
