mvdir(1M)                                                         mvdir(1M)

NAME
     mvdir - move a directory

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/mvdir dirname  name

DESCRIPTION
     mvdir moves directories within a file system. dirname must be a direc-
     tory. If name does not exist, it will be created as a directory. If
     name does exist, and is a directory, dirname will be created as
     name/dirname. dirname and name may not be on the same path; that is,
     one may not be subordinate to the other. For example:

          mvdir x/y x/z

     is legal, but

          mvdir x/y x/y/z

     is not legal.

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed.

     If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined as the null string, it
     defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is likewise undefined or null,
     the system acts as if it were not internationalized.

     If any of the locale variables has an invalid value, the system acts
     as if none of the variables was set.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

NOTE
     Only the superuser can use mvdir.
