ALIASES

SYNOPSIS
move SOURCE DESTINATION
DESCRIPTION
Moves one or more files specified by SOURCE to DESTINATION. Once a
successful copy is completed the SOURCE file(s) are removed. The
files are moved to a new location.
SOURCE may specify files using the wildcards '*' and '?'.
If SOURCE specifies a single file then DESTINATION can define both a new
location and name for the file.
If SOURCE specifies one or more files and DESTINATION is a folder then
the files are moved into the destination folder.
If SOURCE specifies a folder then all file content is moved to the
specified DESTINATION folder. The
. wildcard is assumed.
-O
Overwrite all. If the destination file already exists it will be
overwritten without confirmation.
-S, -R
Includes subfolders in wildcard actions. Note that the folder structure
is maintained and destination folders will be created if needed. The
existing folders from which files are moved are not removed. These will
remain even if empty. These can be removed then using the
RMDIR command.
