HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NUCLEUS

Origin: HP

DESCRIPTION

Oldfile is a full LIF file specifier (see lif(5) for details) for the file to be renamed (e.g. liffile:A_FILE).  Newfile is new name to be given to the file (only the file name portion).  This operation does not include copy or delete.  Old file names must match the name of the file to be renamed, even if that file name is not a legal LIF name. 

Note that you should not mount the special file before using lifrename. 

HARDWARE DEPENDENCIES

Series 500:
You must use a character special file to access the media. 

EXAMPLES

lifrename liffile:A_FILE B_FILE
lifrename /dev/fd.0:ABC CDE

DIAGNOSTICS

Lifrename returns exit code 0 if the file name is changed successfully.  Otherwise it prints a diagnostic and returns non-zero.
