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 directory.  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.
