           _F_i_l_e_1 is copied (linked, moved) to _t_a_r_g_e_t.  Under no
           circumstance can _f_i_l_e_1 and _t_a_r_g_e_t be the same (take care
           when using _s_h(1) metacharacters).  If _t_a_r_g_e_t is a directory,
           then one or more files are copied (linked, moved) to that
           directory.

           If _m_v determines that the mode of _t_a_r_g_e_t forbids writing, it
           will print the mode (see _c_h_m_o_d(2)) and read the standard
           input for one line (if the standard input is a terminal); if
           the line begins with yyyy, the move takes place; if not, _m_v
           exits.

           Only _m_v will allow _f_i_l_e_1 to be a directory, in which case
           the directory rename will occur only if the two directories
           have the same parent.

           If _f_i_l_e_1 and _t_a_r_g_e_t lie on different file systems, _m_v must
           copy the file and delete the original.  In this case the
           owner name becomes that of the copying process and any
           linking relationship with other files is lost.

           _L_n will not link across file systems.
