'mv' - move files and directories - Video Man Pages

time2 mo agoview1 views

The 'mv' command is used to move files and directories to new locations.

  • Move a file or directory to new location: mv path/to/source path/to/target

    NOTE: This essentially "renaming" the file if source and target are within the same the directory.

  • Move multiple files into an existing directory, keeping the filenames unchanged: mv path/to/source1 path/to/source2 ... path/to/target_directory

  • Move files in verbose mode, showing files after they are moved: mv -v path/to/source path/to/target

  • Move in interactive mode prompting user before overwriting files: mv -i path/to/source path/to/target

  • Move in force mode overrides default behavior and interactive settings, and does not prompt for confirmation before overwriting existing files: mv -f path/to/source path/to/target

  • Move in no-clobber mode, does not overwrite existing files at the target: mv -n path/to/source path/to/target

    NOTE: If you specify more than one of -i, -f, -n, only the final one takes effect.
