Linux mren Command

Linux Command Manual

The Linux mren command is used to rename MS-DOS files or directories, or to move files or directories.

mren is an MS-DOS utility command, similar to the ren command in DOS, which can rename MS-DOS files or directories.

The source file must be a file that already exists on the disk. If the drive letter and path are omitted, it refers to the file in the current drive and current directory.

The new file name is the name to be changed to. The new file name cannot have a different drive letter and path than the source file, because this command can only change the file name on the same drive.

Syntax

mren [source file or directory...]

Parameter Description:

• [source file or directory...]: The source file name or source file path to perform the operation on.
• : The target file name or target file path to perform the operation on.

Example

Use the command mren to change the name of the file "autorun.bat" on drive A to "auto.bat", enter the following command:

$ mren a:autorun.bat auto.bat #Rename file autorun.bat to auto.bat

Use the mdir command before and after using this command to view and compare, the results are as follows:

$ mdir -/ a:* #View files on drive A
Volume in drive A has no label #Load information
Volume Serial Number is 13D2~055C
Directory for A: #Directory information below
./TEST <DIR> 2011-08-23 16:59 #File name, directory size, modification time
AUTORUN.BAT 43 2011-08-23 16:56
3 files 308 bytes #Total size
724 325 bytes free #Remaining space

#Rename file autorun.bat to auto.bat
$ mren a:autorun.bat auto.bat

$ mdir -/ a:* #View files on drive A again
Volume in drive A has no label #Load information
Volume Serial Number is 13D2~055C
Directory for A: #Directory information below
./TEST <DIR> 2011-08-23 16:59 #File name, directory size, modification time
#File name changed to auto.bat, modification time changed to current system time
AUTO.BAT 43 2011-08-23 16:56
3 files 308 bytes #Total size
724 325 bytes free #Remaining space
