        !            13: mv renames  files.  In the first form above,  it changes the name
        !            14: of oldfile to newfile.  If newfile already exists, mv replaces it
        !            15: with the file being moved; if  not, mv creates it.  If newfile is
        !            16: a directory, mv places oldfile under that directory.
        !            17: 
        !            18: In the second  form, mv moves each file so  that it resides under
        !            19: directory.  If a file with the new name exists but is unwritable,
        !            20: mv will not delete it unless the -f option is specified.
        !            21: 
        !            22: mv will not copy  directories between devices and will not remove
        !            23: directories that occupy the destination of the command.
        !            24: 
        !            25: Normally, mv creates a link to the old file with the new file and
        !            26: then removes  the old file.  If it cannot  create the link (e.g.,
        !            27: because the new file is on a different file system than the old),
        !            28: mv performs a copy and then removes the old file.
