What are other mv command options?

Here are some additional options for the mv command:

  • -f: Force move without prompting for confirmation. This option will overwrite existing files without asking.

    mv -f source.txt destination.txt
  • -n: Do not overwrite an existing file. If the destination file exists, the command will not perform the move.

    mv -n source.txt destination.txt
  • -v: Verbose mode. This option provides detailed output about what the command is doing.

    mv -v source.txt destination.txt
  • -i: Interactive mode. This option prompts for confirmation before overwriting files.

    mv -i source.txt destination.txt

These options can be combined as needed. For example:

mv -iv source.txt destination.txt

This command will prompt before overwriting and provide verbose output.
