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

If you specify more than one of -i
, -f
, -n
, only the final one
takes effect.

, --suffix
=SUFFIX

-t
, --target-directory
=DIRECTORY
move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY

destination file or when the destination file is missing

environment variable. Here are the values:
none, off

is given)
numbered, t
make numbered backups
existing, nil
numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
simple, never
