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
representation 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
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://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html’
* 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.
