## Note of warning

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation, and may  not  be  entirely
           accurate  or  complete.   See the end of this man page for
           details.

## Description

           The mren command is used to rename or move an existing MS-
           DOS file or subdirectory. Its syntax is:

           mren [-voOsSrRA] sourcefile targetfile

           Mren renames an existing file on an MS-DOS filesystem.

           In  verbose  mode,  Mren  displays the new filename if the
           name supplied is invalid.

           If the first syntax is used (only one sourcefile), and  if
           the target name doesn't contain any slashes or colons, the
           file (or subdirectory) is renamed in the  same  directory,
           instead  of  being  moved  to the current mcd directory as
           would be the case with mmove. Unlike the MS-DOS version of
           REN, mren can be used to rename directories.

## Viewing the texi doc

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process  is
           only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer
           ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
           process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre
           sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor
           mation has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus
           I strongly advise you to use  the  original  texinfo  doc.
           See  the  end of this manpage for instructions how to view
           the texinfo doc.

           *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
                  run the following commands:

                         ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

           *      To generate a html copy,  run:
           The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
           Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
           to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
