NAME
       mv - move files

SYNOPSIS
       mv fromfile tofile
       mv fromfile ...	todir

DESCRIPTION
       Mv  moves  fromfile to tofile.  If the files are in the same directory,
       fromfile is simply renamed; a previously	 existing  file	 named	tofile
       will  be	 (silently) removed.  Otherwise, mv copies fromfile to tofile,
       then removes fromfile.  This requires write permission for  the	parent
       directories involved.

       If  the last argument is a directory, the earlier arguments (all files)
       will be moved into that directory. Any previously existing files of the
       same  name  will	 be  overwritten.  Directories can only be renamed: mv
       refuses to move one into another.
