<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
say I have a directory called &quot;foo&quot; with some<br />
files in it and I want to rename it &quot;foobar&quot;<br />
what do I do? <br />
I do not want to just copy it to the new name<br />
and delete the old one. I do not want to use <br />
a c or perl pergram to do this just UNIX<br />
commands<br />

how do I rename a directory?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
