NAME
   mv - move (rename) a file

SYNOPSIS
   mv file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
   Mv  changes  the  name  of  "file1"  to  "file2".   If "file2"
   already exists, it is  overwritten.   Mv  usually  performs  a
   "rename"  operation,  but in cases where this fails, it copies
   "file1" to "file2" and then deletes "file1". 

FILES
   None

SEE ALSO
   rm

AUTHORS
   David Hanson and friends (U. of Arizona)

BUGS/DEFICIENCIES
   Results may be strange if the terminal is specified as  either
   file. 

   If  mv  must copy "file1", it does so assuming that "file1" is
   a character file.
