e2mv - moves or renames files on an ext2fs filesystem
Contents
Description
The e2mv command moves or renames files on an ext2fs filesystem. The source files must be explicitly
stated. It does not use regular expressions, yet.
Examples
Rename a file:
e2cp -v /tmp/boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.old
If `/boot/grub/grub.conf.old` already exists and is not a directory, this will fail. Use `-f` to force
removal.
Move a file to a different directory (`/data/processed`):
e2cp -v /dev/hdb1:/data/input0.txt /data/processed
To swap the names of two files:
e2cp -vs /tmp/boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bk
To swap two files and use a new name for the first one:
e2cp -vs boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.c2 /boot/grub/grub.c1
`/boot/grub/grub.conf` is now `/boot/grub/grub.c1` and
`/boot/grub/grub.c2` is now `/boot/grub/grub.conf`
