mvren

mvren is a command-line utility found on Unix-like operating systems. Its primary function is to move or rename files and directories. When used to move a file, mvren transfers it from its current location to a new destination directory. If the destination is a different file name, it will also rename the file.

The basic syntax for mvren is mvren [options] source destination. The source can be a single file or directory, or multiple files and directories. The destination can be a directory or a new file name. If the destination is a directory, the source file(s) will be moved into that directory, retaining their original names. If the destination is a file name, the source file will be moved and renamed to that specified name.

mvren supports several options that modify its behavior. For example, the -i option prompts the user before overwriting an existing file. The -v option provides verbose output, showing each file as it is moved. Another common option is -n, which prevents overwriting an existing file.

The mvren command is a fundamental tool for file management in Unix-like environments. Its ability to both move and rename files makes it highly versatile. It is often used in shell scripting for automating file organization tasks. The command's behavior is consistent across various operating systems that adhere to Unix standards.
