move is a shell command for renaming and moving files and directories.
The command is in various shells including COMMAND.COM, Command Prompt, 4DOS/4NT. In PowerShell, move is a predefined command alias for the Move-Item Cmdlet which serves the same essential purpose.
The command is available in various operating systems including DOS, OS/2, Windows and ReactOS. On MS-DOS, the command is available in versions 6 and later. The FreeDOS version was developed by Joe Cosentino. DR DOS 6.0 includes an implementation of the move command. The open-source MS-DOS emulator DOSBox has no MOVE command. Instead, the REN command can be used to move files.
The command is analogous to the Unix-based mv command and to the OpenVOS move_file and move_dircommands.
