NAME
     e2mv - moves or renames files on an ext2fs filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     e2mv [options] files... dest

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.

OPTIONS
     -f     Force the operation to remove any existing files.

     -s     Swap names of the two files.

     -v     Be verbose.

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`
