mren - rename an existing MSDOS file
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely
accurate or complete. See the end of this man page for
details.
Description
The mren command is used to rename or move an existing MS-
DOS file or subdirectory. Its syntax is:
mren [-voOsSrRA] sourcefile targetfile
Mren renames an existing file on an MS-DOS filesystem.
In verbose mode, Mren displays the new filename if the
name supplied is invalid.
If the first syntax is used (only one sourcefile), and if
the target name doesn't contain any slashes or colons, the
file (or subdirectory) is renamed in the same directory,
instead of being moved to the current mcd directory as
would be the case with mmove. Unlike the MS-DOS version of
REN, mren can be used to rename directories.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is
only approximative, and some items, such as crossrefer
ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all infor
mation has been translated into the manpage version. Thus
I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.
See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view
the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc,
run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at:
`http://mtools.linux.lu' and also at:
`http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs'
info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
