/usr/bin/mv

Move SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.

Usage: mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
       mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
       mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...

Arguments:
  <files>...

Options:
  -f, --force                         do not prompt before overwriting
  -i, --interactive                   prompt before override
  -n, --no-clobber                    do not overwrite an existing file
      --strip-trailing-slashes        remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument
      --backup[=<CONTROL>]            make a backup of each existing destination file
  -b                                  like --backup but does not accept an argument
  -S, --suffix <SUFFIX>               override the usual backup suffix
      --update[=<update>]             move only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination
                                      file or when the destination file is missing [possible values:
                                      none, all, older, none-fail]
  -u                                  like --update but does not accept an argument
  -t, --target-directory <DIRECTORY>  move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
  -T, --no-target-directory           treat DEST as a normal file
  -v, --verbose                       explain what is being done
  -g, --progress                      Display a progress bar.
                                      Note: this feature is not supported by GNU coreutils.
  -Z                                  set SELinux security context of destination file to default
                                      type
      --context[=<CTX>]               like -Z, or if CTX is specified then set the SELinux security
                                      context to CTX
      --debug                         explain how a file is copied. Implies -v
      --exchange                      exchange source and destination (atomically swap them)
  -h, --help                          Print help
  -V, --version                       Print version

When specifying more than one of -i, -f, -n, only the final one will take effect.

Do not move a non-directory that has an existing destination with the same or newer modification
timestamp;
instead, silently skip the file without failing. If the move is across file system boundaries, the
comparison is
to the source timestamp truncated to the resolutions of the destination file system and of the
system calls used
to update timestamps; this avoids duplicate work if several mv -u commands are executed with the
same source
and destination. This option is ignored if the -n or --no-clobber option is also specified. which
gives more control
over which existing files in the destination are replaced, and its value can be one of the
following:

- all This is the default operation when an --update option is not specified, and results in all
existing files in the destination being replaced.
- none This is similar to the --no-clobber option, in that no files in the destination are replaced,
but also skipping a file does not induce a failure.
- older This is the default operation when --update is specified, and results in files being
replaced if they’re older than the corresponding source file.

The backup suffix is '~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.  Here are the values:

  none, off       never make backups (even if --backup is given)
  numbered, t     make numbered backups
  existing, nil   numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
  simple, never   always make simple backups
