| Summary | 0000048: moving a directory to a directory followed by a "/" should not be required to fail | ||||
| Description | The following text was added to the end of the first paragraph on the mv page in the 2008 revision, as a result of interpretation AI-016: "In this case, if target_file ends with a trailing <slash> character, mv shall treat this as an error and no source_file operands will be processed." Here, "in this case" is a reference to "the final operand does not name an existing directory and is not a symbolic link referring to an existing directory". This is fine for the case where an attempt is made to rename a non-directory file, e.g.: mv regular_file new_name/ but I can see no reason that an attempt to rename a directory should fail, e.g.: mv existing_dir new_dir/ or: mv existing_dir/ new_dir/ Indeed, these commands work on Solaris 10. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change "In this case, if target_file ends with a trailing ..." to "In this case, if source_file names a non-directory file and target_file ends with a trailing ..." | ||||
