NAME [Toc] [Back]
tt_file_move - move objects from one file to another
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
Tt_status tt_file_move(
const char *oldfilepath,
const char *newfilepath);
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The tt_file_move function destroys all objects that exist on the files
and directories rooted at newfilepath, then moves all objects that
exist on oldfilepath to newfilepath.
If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in the same file system,
tt_file_move replaces oldfilepath with newfilepath in the path
associated with every object in that file system; that is, all the
objects in the directory tree rooted at oldfilepath are overlaid onto
newfilepath. In this mode, the behavior of tt_file_move is similar to
rename(2).
If oldfilepath and newfilepath reside in different file systems,
neither can be a directory.
The oldfilepath argument is the name of the file or directory whose
objects are to be moved. The newfilepath argument is the name of the
file or directory to which the objects are to be moved.
