# gfmv(1)

move (rename) Gfarm file

## NAME

gfmv - move (rename) Gfarm file

## SYNOPSIS

**gfmv** \[*options*\] src dest-file

**gfmv** \[*options*\] src... dest-dir

## DESCRIPTION

In its first form, **gfmv** renames a Gfarm file from *src* to *dest-file*.

In its second form, **gfmv** moves Gfarm files, which are specified by the *src* parameter, to under the existing *dest-dir*.

## OPTIONS

- **-f**

  Do not prompt before overwriting not-writable files.

- **-i**

  Prompt before overwriting.

  Do not allow moving a directory between different directory quota settings. If this option is not specified, gfmv tries to emulate such moving by recursively creating the directory hierarchy.
