In computing, move is a command in various command-line interpreters such as COMMAND.COM, cmd.exe, [1] 4DOS/4NT, and PowerShell. It is used to move one or more files or directories from one place to another. [2] The original file is deleted, and the new file may have the same or a different name.
With a single argument, it is often used to print a file to the user's terminal emulator (or historically to a computer terminal or teletype). With more than one argument, it concatenates several files. The combined result is by default also printed to the terminal, but often users redirect the result into yet another file. [9]
A directory is a logical section of a file system used to hold files. Directories may also contain other directories. The cd command can be used to change into a subdirectory, move back into the parent directory, move all the way back to the root directory or move to any given directory.
nnn (shortened as n³) is a free and open-source, text-based file manager for Unix-like systems. It is a fork of noice [5] [6] and provides several additional features, [7] [8] while using a minimal memory footprint [9] [better source needed] It uses low-level functions to access the file system and keeps the number of reads to a minimum, allowing it to perform well on embedded devices.
COMMAND.COM, the original Microsoft command line processor introduced on MS-DOS as well as Windows 9x, in 32-bit versions of NT-based Windows via NTVDM; cmd.exe, successor of COMMAND.COM introduced on OS/2 and Windows NT systems, although COMMAND.COM is still available in virtual DOS machines on IA-32 versions of those operating systems also.
Using mv requires the user to have write permission for the directories the file will move between. This is because mv changes the content of both directories (i.e., the source and the target) involved in the move. When using the mv command on files located on the same filesystem, the file's timestamp is not updated.
The other pseudo-device, the slave, emulates a hardware serial port device, [1] and is used by terminal-oriented programs such as shells (e.g. bash) as a processes to read/write data back from/to master endpoint. [1] PTYs are similar to bidirectional pipes. [3]: 1388 Devpts is a Linux kernel virtual file system containing pseudoterminal devices.
LinuxLinks named it one of the "10 Best Orthodox Free Linux File Managers", and one of its "5 Top Console Linux File Managers". [ 20 ] [ 21 ] It is often cited in magazine articles and software blogs for power users as an illustration of the power and versatility of the command line interface.
