 **t.rename --help**\
 **t.rename** **input**=*name* **output**=*name*  \[**type**=*name*\]   \[--**overwrite**\]  \[--**help**\]  \[--**verbose**\]  \[--**quiet**\]  \[--**ui**\]

  Verbose module output

- **--quiet**

  Quiet module output

- **--ui**

  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

- **input**=*name* **\[required\]**

  Name of the input space time dataset

- **output**=*name* **\[required\]**

  Name of the output space time dataset

- **type**=*name*

  Type of the input space time dataset\
   Options: *strds, stvds, str3ds*\
   Default: *strds*

## DESCRIPTION

The *t.rename* module renames space time datasets of different types (STRDS, STVDS, STR3DS) and updates the space time dataset register entries of the registered maps.

## NOTES

Renaming of space time datasets works only for SQLite based temporal databases.

## EXAMPLE

A new vector space time dataset will be created, renamed and in the end removed\

```
# Create new and empty STVDS
t.create type=stvds output=toberenamed semantictype=mean \
  title="Example to rename" \
  description="This is an example just to show how rename"
t.rename input=toberenamed output=newname type=stvds
t.remove input=newname type=stvds
```
