Command:   mv - move or rename a file
Syntax:    mv [-ifsmvx] file1 file2
           mv [-ifsvx] file ... directory
Flags:     -i  Prompt before removing existing files
           -f  Do not prompt before removing existing files
           -s  Do not clear any mode bits if owner can't be set
           -m  Merge directory trees
           -v  Tell what mv is doing
           -x  Do not cross device boundaries
Examples:  mv oldname newname       # Move oldname to newname
           mv file1 file2 /user/ast # Move two files to /user/ast

     Mv moves one or more files from one place in  the  file  system  to
another.   If  the  old  path and new path are on the same device, it is
done by renaming otherwise by copying. If you're not superuser, the copy
will  destroy  the  file's owner, group and setuid/setgid bits.  mv will
prompt before removing non-writable files if stdin is a terminal or  the
-i flag was specified.
