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] source-
file [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirectory
Mmove moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file or subdirec-
tory. 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 approx-
imative, and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes
and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed,
these items have no appropriate representation in the man-
page 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 following 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.
