Linux mren command
Linux Command ReferenceThe Linux mren command is used to change the name of MS-DOS files or directories, or to move files or directories.
mren is an MS-DOS utility command, similar to the ren command under DOS, and can change the names of MS-DOS files or directories.
The source file must be an existing file on the disk. If the drive letter and path are omitted, it refers to a file on the current drive and in the current directory.
The new file name is the name to be changed to. The new file name cannot be preceded by a drive letter or path different from the source file, because this command can only change file names on the same drive.
Syntax
mren [源文件或目录...][目标文件或目录]
Parameter description:
- [Source file or directory...]: The source file name or source file path on which the operation is performed. [Target file or directory]: The target file name or target file path for the operation.
Examples
Use the command mren to change the file name of "autorun.bat" on drive A to "auto.bat". Enter the following command:
$ mren a:\autorun.bat auto.bat #将文件autorun.bat重命名为auto.bat
Before and after using this command, use the mdir command to view and compare. The results are as follows:
$ mdir -/ a:\* #查看a盘中的文件 Volume in drive A has no label #加载信息 Volume Serial Number is 13D2~055C Directory for A:\ #以下为目录信息 ./TEST <DIR> 2011-08-23 16:59 #文件名，目录大小，修改时间 AUTORUN.BAT 43 2011-08-23 16:56 3 files 308 bytes #统计总大小 724 325 bytes free #剩余空间 #将文件autorun.bat重命名为auto.bat $ mren a:\autorun.bat auto.bat $ mdir -/ a:\* #再次查看a盘中文件 Volume in drive A has no label #加载信息 Volume Serial Number is 13D2~055C Directory for A:\ #以下为目录信息 ./TEST <DIR> 2011-08-23 16:59 #文件名目录大小 修改时间 #文件名被改为auto.bat，修改时间改为当前系统时间 AUTO.BAT 43 2011-08-23 16:56 3 files 308 bytes #统计总大小 724 325 bytes free #剩余空间Other Extensions
