I would have thought so, but the man pages didn't mention it. I haven't use mv in ages. Makes sense that it would work, though. Moving/renaming a file would just change the name, not the inode number, which is the real key to *nix file systems.
Ashley said it, a directory is a file. But more, when you do a mv on a file, it don't rename. If the target is in the same filesystem, mv do a hard link on the source file, then unlink the original name. If you move accross filesystem, mv do a copy of the directory.
If you don't believe me, get the source. -- Mickaël Wolff aka Lupus Michaelis http://lupusmic.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
