What is the purpose of the 'mv' command in Linux?

The mv command in Linux is used for two primary purposes:

1. Moving Files and Directories: It allows you to move files or directories from one location to another within the filesystem.

   mv source_file destination_directory/
   

2. Renaming Files and Directories: It can also rename files or directories.

   mv old_filename new_filename
   

Key Points:

• The basic syntax is mv [OPTIONS] source destination.
• You can use wildcards (e.g., *) to move multiple files at once.
• Always verify your operations to ensure the expected results.
