mv: Move files in verbose mode, showing files after they are moved.
$ mv -v ${path-to-source} ${path-to-target}
try on your machine
The command "mv -v ${path-to-source} ${path-to-target}" is used to move a file or directory from a source location to a target location. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "mv" stands for "move" and is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that is used to move files and directories.
- "-v" is an option for the "mv" command, which stands for "verbose". This option enables the command to provide additional information about the files being moved, such as displaying the file names as they are moved.
- "${path-to-source}" represents the path or location of the file or directory that you want to move. You need to replace "${path-to-source}" with the actual path to the source file or directory on your system.
- "${path-to-target}" represents the path or location where you want to move the source file or directory. You need to replace "${path-to-target}" with the actual path to the target location on your system.
When you execute this command, the "mv" command will move the file or directory from the source location to the target location. The "-v" option will display detailed output, showing the source and target file names as they are being moved.
