     NAME
	  mvdir - move a directory

     SYNOPSIS
	  /etc/mvdir dirname  name

     HP-UX MODEL POSITION
	  Large Machine
	  SVID

     DESCRIPTION
	  Mvdir moves and/or renames directories within a file system.
	  Dirname  must	 be a directory; name must not exist.  Neither
	  name may be a sub-set of the other (/x/y cannot be moved  to
	  /x/y/z, nor vice versa).

	  The directory specified by name cannot be a subdirectory  of
	  that	specified  by  dirname.	  The  directory  specified by
	  dirname may be a subdirectory of that specified by name, but
	  the	notations  .  and  ..  must  be	 used  in  naming  the
	  directories, because mvdir does not allow the names  of  the
	  directories  to have the property that one is a subdirectory
	  of the other.

	  Only the super-user can use mvdir.

     SEE ALSO
	  mkdir(1).

     BUGS
	  The restriction on names is intended to prevent creation  of
	  a  (cyclic)  sub-tree	 that cannot be reached from the root.
	  The test is strictly by name, thus creating such a  sub-tree
	  is  still  possible.	The super-user is cautioned to be very
	  careful in his use of	 the  names  .	and  ..	 while	moving
	  directories.
