To rename a directory on a Unix or Linux system, you can use the mv
command.
To use the mv
command, you can type mv
followed by the source directory and the destination directory.
For example, to rename the directory /tmp/olddir
to /tmp/newdir
, you can use the following command:
mv /tmp/olddir /tmp/newdir
This will rename the directory /tmp/olddir
to /tmp/newdir
.
The mv
command can also be used to move a directory to a different location. For example, to move the directory /tmp/olddir
to the root directory, you can use the following command:
mv /tmp/olddir /
This will move the directory /tmp/olddir
to the root directory.
The mv
command has several options that allow you to customize the behavior of the command. For example, you can use the -f
option to force the move or rename operation, or the -i
option to prompt for confirmation before overwriting an existing file or directory.
For more information about the mv
command and its options, you can consult the documentation for your specific Unix or Linux system.
