Name
       mmove - move or rename an MSDOS file or subdirectory



Note of warning
       This  manpage  has  been automatically generated from mtools’s texinfo
       documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See  the
       end of this man page for details.


Description
       The  mmove command is used to moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file
       or subdirectory.
       mmove [-v] [-D clash_option] sourcefile targetfile
       mmove [-v]  [-D clash_option] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirectory

       Mmove moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory. Unlike
       the  MS-DOS  version  of	 MOVE,	mmove is able to move subdirectories.
       Files or directories can only be moved  within  one  filesystem.	 Data
       cannot be moved from Dos to Unix or vice-versa.	If you omit the drive
       letter from the target file or directory, the same letter as  for  the
       source  is assumed.  If you omit the drive letter from all parameters,
       drive a: is assumed by default.

Viewing the texi doc
       This manpage has been automatically generated  from  mtools’s  texinfo
       documentation.  However,	 this process is only approximative, and some
       items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
       translation  process.   Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
       sentation in the manpage format.	 Moreover, not	all  information  has
       been  translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly advise you
       to use the original texinfo doc.	 See the  end  of  this	 manpage  for
       instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol-
	      lowing commands:

		     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi



       *      To generate a html copy,	run:

		     ./configure; make html

	      A premade html can be found  at:	‘http://mtools.linux.lu’  and
	      also at: ‘http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools’

       *      To  generate  an	info copy (browsable using emacs’ info mode),
	      run:

		     ./configure; make info



       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in
       the  info  version  certain  examples are difficult to read due to the
       quoting conventions used in info.
