     Name
          mvdir - moves a directory


     Syntax
          /etc/mvdir dirname newdirname


     Description
          mvdir moves directories within a file system.  The directory
          (  dirname)  must  be  a  directory.   If there is already a
          directory or file with the same name as name, mvdir fails.

          Neither name may be a sub-set of the  other.   For  example,
          you  cannot  move a directory named /x/y to /x/y/z, and vice
          versa.


     Notes
          You must be root to use mvdir.
