1 12/08/88  move, mv
 2 
 3 Syntax as a command:
 4    mv move path1 {path2...path1N path2N} {-control_arg}
 5 
 6 
 7 Function: moves a specified segment, multisegment file, data
 8 management file, and extended entry (along with its access control list
 9 and all names) to a new position in the storage system hierarchy.
10 
11 
12 Arguments:
13 path1
14    is the pathname of a segment or multisegment file to be moved.  The
15    star convention is allowed.
16 path2
17    is the pathname to which path1 is to be moved.  The equal convention
18    is allowed.  If you don't give the last path2 segment, path1 is
19    moved to your working directory and given the entryname path1.
20 
21 
22 Control arguments:
23 -acl
24    copies the ACL.  (Default)
25 -all, -a
26    copies multiple names and ACLs.
27 -brief, -bf
28    suppresses the messages "Bit count inconsistent with current
29    length..."  and "Current length is not the same as records used...."
30 -chase
31    copies the targets of links that match path1 (see "Notes").
32 -long
33    prints warning messages as necessary.  (Default)
34 -name, -nm
35    copies multiple names.  (Default)
36 
37 
38 -no_acl
39    does not copy the ACL.  The segment is given the IACL of the target
40    directory.
41 -no_chase
42    does not copy the targets of links that match path1 (see "Notes").
43 -no_name, -nnm
44    does not copy the multiple names.
45 
46 
47 Access required: You need read access for path1, status and modify
48 permission for the directory containing path1, and status, modify, and
49 append permission for the directory containing path2.
50 
51 
52 Notes: The default for chasing links depends on path1--if it is a
53 star name, links are not chased by default; if it is not, links are
54 chased.
55 
56 If the primary name of path1 is the only one, it is added as a
57 secondary name to path2.
58 
59 If an entry with the entryname path1 already exists in the target
60 directory, you are asked whether the already-existing entry should be
61 deleted.  If you answer "no," the move does not take place.
62 
63 If path1 is protected by the safety switch, you are asked whether you
64 want to delete path1 after it has been moved.
65 
66 
67 If moving a non-empty mailbox requires that the max_length
68 characteristic of the source be applied to the target, then the target
69 max_length value will take on the default value that was given it when
70 created.
