In
computing, move
is a
command in various
command-line interpreters (
shells) 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. The command is analogous to the
Unix
mv
command and to the
OpenVOS move_file
and move_dir
commands.
[3]
The command is available in
DOS,
[4]
IBM
OS/2,
[5]
Microsoft
Windows and
ReactOS.
[6] On
MS-DOS, the command is available in versions 6 and later.
[7] In
Windows PowerShell, move
is a predefined
command alias for the Move-Item
Cmdlet which basically serves the same purpose. The
FreeDOS version was developed by Joe Cosentino.
[8]
DR DOS 6.0 includes an implementation of the move
command.
[9] The
open-source MS-DOS
emulator
DOSBox has no MOVE
command. Instead, the
REN
command can be used to move files.
[10]
To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination
To rename a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 [destination\]dirname2
To move a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 destination
The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from within a batch script.
move_dir: Purpose: This command moves a directory and its contents from one place to another. ... move_file: Purpose: This command moves a file or set of files to another file or directory.
