While listening to John Gardeniers Pete heard:File name expansion

G'day John

 JG> Next project: How to do a move without a copy if the

Quite simple use the rename() function, see info below.

*************************************************************
Syntax:    int rename( char *oldname, char *newname );

Returns:   0 if successful, or a nonzero value if not.
           errno: EACCES, ENOENT, EXDEV

Info:

The rename function renames the file or directory specified by
 to the name given by . The old name must be the
path name of an existing file or directory. The new name must not
be the name of an existing file or directory.

The rename function can be used to move a file from one directory
to another by giving a different path name in the 
argument. However, files cannot be moved from one device to
another (for example, from drive A to drive B). Directories can
only be renamed, not moved.

Return Value

The rename function returns 0 if it is successful. On error, it
returns a nonzero value and sets errno to EACCES, ENOENT, or
EXDEV.
