File operations

'mv' - Move a file or directory

• 'mv file1 file2' - Rename file1 to file2

• 'mv file1 file2 file3 dir1' - Move file1, file2, file3 to dir1. If dir1 does not exist, it will be created.

• For error '-bash: /bin/mv: Argument list too long':

  • use 'xargs' to split the command into smaller chunks:
    • 'find . -name "*.txt" | xargs mv -t dir1'
  • use 'find -exec' to execute the command for each file:
    • 'find . -name "*.txt" -exec mv {} dir1 ;'
