7.2.8 mv

Rename files.

Syntax

mv [{ -w | --wallet } wallet-location ] [ -D | --debug ] 
   source1 target1 [ sourceN targetN ]...

Command Options

The options for the mv command are:

• source1-N: Specifies the source file being moved.

• target1-N: Specifies the target location of the file. The value cannot be a directory.

• -w, --wallet: Optionally specifies the path to the Exascale wallet directory.

• -D, --debug: Optionally enables debug mode.

Usage Notes

Note the following information when using this command:

• The source and target locations must reside in the same Exascale vault.

• You can use a wildcard (%) in the source location to specify multiple source files, in which case the corresponding target location must also contain a matching wildcard. For example, see Example 7-10.

Examples

Example 7-10 Move Multiple Files on Exascale Storage

The following example uses the wildcard character (%) to move multiple files from @MYDATA/location1/prefix1% to @MYDATA/location2/anotherlocation/prefix2%. Using the example command, a file named @MYDATA/location1/prefix1mydata would be moved to @MYDATA/location2/anotherlocation/prefix2mydata.

$ xsh mv @MYDATA/location1/prefix1% @MYDATA/location2/anotherlocation/prefix2%
