omv(1)  —  Commands

Name

omv − move or rename files

Syntax

omv [−f] [−i] [−] [−T trace-file] application-name::file1 file2

Description

The omv command moves (changes the name of) the remote file specified by file1 to file2 on that same remote system. 

If -i has been specified and file2 already exists, the omv command prompts for confirmation before overwriting the file if the user does not have write permission on file2 . 

Options

-f Force. This option overrides any mode restrictions or the −i switch.  This option is the default. 

−i Interactive mode. Whenever a move is to supercede an existing file, the user is prompted by the name of the file followed by a question mark.  If the user answers with a line starting with ’y’, the move continues.  Any other reply prevents the move from occurring. 

− Interprets all following arguments as file names to allow file names starting with a minus sign. 

−T trace-file
Specifies that a trace file be created with the indicated file name. You must use the ositrace command to analyze this trace file.

application-name
Specifies the FTAM system on which the remote files are located.

file1 Specifies the remote file to be renamed or moved. 

file2 Specifies the new name of the file on the same remote system. 

Restrictions
