NAME
pmv - rename an Inversion file or directory
SYNOPSIS
pmv
oldpath
newpath
DESCRIPTION
Pmv
changes the name of an existing file or directory on the Inversion
file system.
In the case that a directory is moved,
the children of the original directory remain
children of the directory under its new name.
ARGUMENTS
- oldpath
-
The path name of the file or directory to rename.
This must be a fully-qualified path rooted at ``/'',
and the named file or directory must exist.
- newpath
-
The new pathname for the file or directory.
Again,
this must be fully qualified,
and intermediate components must exist -
that is,
you cannot move a file to a directory which does not yet exist.
EXAMPLES
The command
-
pmv /a/b/c/d /a/b/c/longname
renames the Inversion file ``d'' in directory ``/a/b/c''
to ``longname''.
ENVIRONMENT
The environment variable DATABASE is checked to determine
what database should be used to find the named Inversion file.
BUGS
DATABASE should be passed on the command line, not in the
environment.
