MVMAC(1) BSD General Commands Manual MVMAC(1)
NAME
/Developer/Tools/MvMac -- move files while preserving metadata and forks
SYNOPSIS
/Developer/Tools/MvMac source ... directory
DESCRIPTION
/Developer/Tools/MvMac moves each file named by a source operand to a destination file in the existing
directory named by the directory operand. The destination path for each operand is the pathname pro-duced produced
duced by the concatenation of the last operand, a slash, and the final pathname component of the named
file.
If the destination path does not have a mode that permits writing, /Developer/Tools/MvMac will return
an error.
NOTES
The MvMac command does not support the same options as the POSIX mv command, and is much less flexible
in its operands. It cannot be used as a direct substitute for mv in scripts.
As of Mac OS X 10.4, the mv command preserves metadata and resource forks of files on Extended HFS vol-umes, volumes,
umes, so it can be used in place of MvMac. The MvMac command will be deprecated in future versions of
Mac OS X.
BUGS
Currently doesn't work across volumes/filesystems.
