Linux 下查看帮助说明,可以用mv –help或man mv, 永远是最快捷的方式
@ubuntu:~$ mv --help
Usage: mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
or: mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
or: mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
--backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
-f, --force do not prompt before overwriting
-i, --interactive prompt before overwrite
-n, --no-clobber do not overwrite an existing file
If you specify more than one of -i, -f, -n, only the final one takes effect.
--strip-trailing-slashes remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE
argument
-S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix
-t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
-T, --no-target-directory treat DEST as a normal file
-u, --update move only when the SOURCE file is newer
than the destination file or when the
destination file is missing
-v, --verbose explain what is being done
-Z, --context set SELinux security context of destination
file to default type
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
The backup suffix is '~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given)
numbered, t make numbered backups
existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
simple, never always make simple backups

mv 的最后一个目标文件一定是目录,除非用 -t 参数先指定了目录。
1、移动一文件夹(目录及目录下的所有文件)到另一目录
下面案例是为了保存已下载代码的.repo文件夹并移到另一个目录中, 已后下载基于现有的来下载。
@ubuntu:~$ mv MSM8953/.repo/ work/MSM8909/
@ubuntu:~$ ls -a MSM8953/
. build device libcore platform_testing tools
.. build.sh docs libnativehelper prebuilts vendor
abi cts external Makefile sdk
art dalvik frameworks ndk shortcut-fe
bionic developers hardware packages system
bootable development kernel pdk toolchain
@ubuntu:~/work$ cd MSM8909/
@ubuntu:~/work/MSM8909$ ls -a
. .. .repo
再看一案例,移动已下载的MSM8953文件到work工作目录
@ubuntu:~$ ls
bin Documents examples.desktop Music Public Templates work
Desktop Downloads MSM8953 Pictures repo Videos
@ubuntu:~$ mv MSM8953/ work/
@ubuntu:~$ ls
bin Documents examples.desktop Pictures repo Videos
Desktop Downloads Music Public Templates work
@ubuntu:~$ cd work
@ubuntu:~/work$ ls
MSM8909 MSM8953
2、移动一文件或多个文件到目录
@ubuntu:~/work$ ls
directory MSM8909 MSM8953 test
@ubuntu:~/work$ mv test directory/
@ubuntu:~/work$ ls
directory MSM8909 MSM8953
@ubuntu:~/work$ ls directory/
test
@ubuntu:~/work$ ls
directory MSM8909 MSM8953 test1 test2
@ubuntu:~/work$ mv test1 test2 directory/
@ubuntu:~/work$ ls directory/
test test1 test2
3、重命名文件
@ubuntu:~/work/directory$ ls
test test1 test2
@ubuntu:~/work/directory$ mv test test3
@ubuntu:~/work/directory$ ls
test1 test2 test3
目录也可以重命名跟重命名文件一样。
