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`
