mmove

mmove

The mmove command in Linux is used to move files from one directory to another. It is a more powerful alternative to the mv command, as it allows you to move multiple files at once and to specify the destination directory.

The syntax of the mmove command is as follows:

mmove [options] source-directory destination-directory

The source-directory argument specifies the directory that contains the files that you want to move.

The destination-directory argument specifies the directory that you want to move the files to.

The options argument specifies additional options for moving the files. The most common options are as follows:

• -f: Force the move, even if the destination directory already exists.

• -i: Interactive mode, which will prompt you to confirm each move.

• -v: Verbose mode, which will print more information about the move.

For example, the following command moves all files from the directory /home/user/old_files to the directory /home/user/new_files:

mmove /home/user/old_files /home/user/new_files

The mmove command is a useful tool for moving files from one directory to another. It is more powerful than the mv command and can be used to move multiple files at once.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the mmove command:

• The mmove command can only be used to move files within the same file system.

• The mmove command will not overwrite existing files in the destination directory.

• The mmove command can be used to move files to a remote directory.

It is important to be aware of these limitations when using the mmove command, so that you do not accidentally overwrite files or move files to an incorrect directory.
