mv
mv(src::AbstractString,dst::AbstractString; remove_destination::Bool=false)
Move the file, link, or directory from src to dst. remove_destination=true will first remove an existing dst.
Examples
julia> mv("oldfile.txt", "newfile.txt")This example moves the file "oldfile.txt" to "newfile.txt" in the current directory.
julia> mv("path/to/source/file.txt", "path/to/destination/")This example moves the file "file.txt" from the "source" directory to the "destination" directory.
julia> mv("source/file.txt", "destination/newfile.txt", remove_destination=true)This example moves the file "file.txt" from the "source" directory to the "destination" directory, and if a file with the same name already exists in the destination, it will be removed before moving.
julia> mv("directory", "new_directory")This example renames the directory "directory" to "new_directory" in the current directory.
Common mistake example:
julia> mv("nonexistent_file.txt", "destination/")
ERROR: SystemError: source `nonexistent_file.txt` does not existIn this example, the source file "nonexistent_file.txt" does not exist, causing a SystemError. Ensure that the source file or directory exists before using the mv function.
