EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
       The  arcrename  command  renames files or directories on grid storage elements and indexing services. The
       path component of oldurl and newurl must differ and it must be the only component of both URLs  which  is
       different.  arcrename will exit with an error if the paths are equivalent or other components of the URLs
       are different. Renaming a URL to an existing  URL  will  either  fail  or  overwrite  the  existing  URL,
       depending  on  the  protocol.   arcrename  works  purely at the namespace level and does not perform data
       transfer.

       For more information on ARC URL syntax please  read  "Protocols,  Uniform  Resource  Locators  (URL)  and
       Extensions Supported in ARC" [NORDUGRID-TECH-7]

       Depending  on  the  installed  libraries  (check  with  -P  ),  the following protocols may be used: file
       (file://  prefix  may  be omitted), http, https, httpg, ftp, gsiftp, srm, root. However renaming  is  not
       supported or implemented for some of those protocols.


FILES
       ~/.arc/client.conf
              Some  options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC client configuration file.
              By using the --conffile option a different configuration file can be used than the default.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       X509_USER_PROXY
              The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set unless the proxy is in a non-standard
              location.

       ARC_LOCATION
              The  location  where  ARC  is  installed  can  be specified by this variable. If not specified the
              install location will be determined from the path to the command being executed, and if this fails
              a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be used.

       ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
              The location of ARC plugins can be specified by this variable. Multiple locations can be specified
              by separating them by : (; in Windows).  The  default  location  is  $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc  (\  in
              Windows).
