NAME
       mv - Move `SOURCE` to `DEST`, or multiple `SOURCE`(s) to `DIRECTORY`.

SYNOPSIS
       mv [-f|--force] [-i|--interactive] [-n|--no-clobber]
       [--strip-trailing-slashes] [--backup] [-b ] [-S|--suffix] [--update]
       [-u ] [-t|--target-directory] [-T|--no-target-directory] [-v|--verbose]
       [-g|--progress] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <files>

DESCRIPTION
       Move `SOURCE` to `DEST`, or multiple `SOURCE`(s) to `DIRECTORY`.

OPTIONS
       -f, --force
              do not prompt before overwriting

       -i, --interactive
              prompt before override

       -n, --no-clobber
              do not overwrite an existing file

       --strip-trailing-slashes
              remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument

       --backup=CONTROL
              make a backup of each existing destination file

       -b     like --backup but does not accept an argument

       -S, --suffix=SUFFIX
              override the usual backup suffix

       --update
              move only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination
              file or when the destination file is missing

              [possible values: none, all, older]

       -u     like --update but does not accept an argument

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

       -T, --no-target-directory
              treat DEST as a normal file

       -v, --verbose
              explain what is being done

       -g, --progress
              Display a progress bar.  Note: this feature is not supported by
              GNU coreutils.

       -h, --help
              Print help

       -V, --version
              Print version

       <files>


EXTRA
       When specifying more than one of -i, -f, -n, only the final one will
       take effect.

       Do not move a non-directory that has an existing destination with the
       same or newer modification timestamp; instead, silently skip the file
       without failing. If the move is across file system boundaries, the
       comparison is to the source timestamp truncated to the resolutions of
       the destination file system and of the system calls used to update
       timestamps; this avoids duplicate work if several mv -u commands are
       executed with the same source and destination. This option is ignored
       if the -n or --no-clobber option is also specified. which gives more
       control over which existing files in the destination are replaced, and
       its value can be one of the following:

       * all    This is the default operation when an --update option is not
       specified, and results in all existing files in the destination being
       replaced.  * none   This is similar to the --no-clobber option, in that
       no files in the destination are replaced, but also skipping a file does
       not induce a failure.  * older  This is the default operation when
       --update is specified, and results in files being replaced if they're
       older than the corresponding source file.

       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
