E2MV(1)				 User commands			       E2MV(1)

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 expres-
       sions, 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`
