- NAME
- mren - rename an existing MSDOS file
-
- SYNOPSIS
- mren [ -v ] sourcefile targetfile
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Mren renames an existing file on an MSDOS filesystem.
-
- Mren will allow the following command line option:
-
- v Verbose mode. Display the new filename if the name
- supplied is invalid.
-
- Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename.
- If an invalid MSDOS target name is specified, mren will
- change the name (and prompt the user to accept or reject
- the new name if the verbose mode is set).
-
- The path component of the target filename (if supplied) is
- ignored. In other words, you may not use mren to move a
- file from one subdirectory to another.
-
- Mren may be used to rename directories.
-
- MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
- or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wild-
- cards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to
- protect them from the shell.
-
- The mcd command may be used to establish the device and
- the current working directory (relative to MSDOS), other-
- wise the default is A:/.
-
- Mread returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.

- mcd(1)
-
- BUGS
- Unlike the MSDOS version of REN, mren can be used to
- rename directories.
