![]() ![]() This will create a backup file with the tilde character(~) appended to it. b(backup): With this option, it is easier to take a backup of an existing file that will be overwritten as a result of the mv command. ![]() ![]() In the following example the effect is for nothing to happen as a file would be overwritten. n (no-clobber): With -n option, mv prevent an existing file from being overwritten. Mv: replace 'b.txt', overriding mode 0444 (r-r-r-)? nģ. The -f option overrides this minor protection and overwrites the destination file forcefully and deletes the source file. f (Force): mv prompts for confirmation overwriting the destination file if a file is write-protected. This option doesn’t work if the file doesn’t exist, it simply rename it or move it to new location. i (Interactive): Like in cp, the -i option makes the command ask the user for confirmation before moving a file that would overwrite an existing file, you have to press y for confirm moving, any other key leaves the file as it is.

If the destination file exist, then it will be overwrite and the source file will be deleted.
