Moving

6. 6. Moving Stuff

   Next Experiments the Dynamics of Files and Directories
   And in this Moving dimension Files or Directories are taken as the Same.
   [Again find out here how the “mv” Command is a Contraction of “Moving“]
   So now for instance Make and Empty ‘bottle’:

   touch ~/livingroom/bottle

   And then we Displace it in another Room:

   mv ~/livingroom/bottle ~/bedroom/

   Then verify Listing the ‘bedroom’ contents:

   ls ~/bedroom/

   And what you Find? The:

   bottle

   Also if only an empty one, sorry :))

   Again you can Move & Rename at the same time like:

   mv ~/bedroom/bottle ~/bathroom/can

   Again we have “magically changed” an empty “bottle” inside the “bedroom” in an empty “can” inside to the “bathroom”. :))
   And as I said in the introduction the Command for Directories works the Same!
   So now again like “Alice in the Wonderland” we Reshape the Folder “livingroom” in the “garden” into a “teapot” in the bedroom! :}}

   mv ~/garden/livingroom ~/bedroom/teapot

   Patiently Verify it with:

   ls ~/bedroom/teapot

   Finding What?

   Simple :) Emptiness! :}
