Cisco Support Tools 1.0 User Guide How to Use the MV Utility 240
Command Line Options
The options for MV are:
-i: ask for confirmation before overwriting each destination file.
-f: move the file, don't ask for confirmation even if it will overwrite a file marked
Read-Only.
-r: recursively move all of the files and subdirectories specified by the filename,
including the named directory.
-v: print out status as the mv progresses.
-?: Display program description.
Note: If the environment variable MV exists, its value is used to establish default
options.
Note: You can override an option that was specified in the environment variable by
following the option with a minus '-' sign. For example, to turn off the -i option,
specify -i-.
Note: The order of options f and i is significant: the one specified last determines
whether a confirmation is requested.
