-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 -ioption, specify -i-.

Note: The order of options f and i is significant: the one specified last determines whether a confirmation is requested.
