.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdio.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn rename "const char *from" "const char *to"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn renameat "int fromfd" "const char *from" "int tofd" "const char *to"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rename
|
|
system call
|
|
causes the link named
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
to be renamed as
|
|
.Fa to .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
exists, it is first removed.
|
|
Both
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
must be of the same type (that is, both directories or both
|
|
non-directories), and must reside on the same file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rename
|
|
system call
|
|
guarantees that if
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
already exists, an instance of
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
will always exist, even if the system should crash in
|
|
the middle of the operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the final component of
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
is a symbolic link,
|
|
the symbolic link is renamed,
|
|
not the file or directory to which it points.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
resolve to the same directory entry, or to different directory
|
|
entries for the same existing file,
|
|
.Fn rename
|
|
returns success without taking any further action.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn renameat
|
|
system call is equivalent to
|
|
.Fn rename
|
|
except in the case where either
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
specifies a relative path.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
is a relative path, the file to be renamed is located
|
|
relative to the directory associated with the file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fromfd
|
|
instead of the current working directory.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
is a relative path, the same happens only relative to the directory associated
|
|
with
|
|
.Fa tofd .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn renameat
|
|
is passed the special value
|
|
.Dv AT_FDCWD
|
|
in the
|
|
.Fa fromfd
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa tofd
|
|
parameter, the current working directory is used in the determination
|
|
of the file for the respective path parameter.
|
|
.\".Sh CAVEAT
|
|
.\"The system can deadlock if a loop in the file system graph is present.
|
|
.\"This loop takes the form of an entry in directory
|
|
.\".Pa a ,
|
|
.\"say
|
|
.\".Pa a/foo ,
|
|
.\"being a hard link to directory
|
|
.\".Pa b ,
|
|
.\"and an entry in
|
|
.\"directory
|
|
.\".Pa b ,
|
|
.\"say
|
|
.\".Pa b/bar ,
|
|
.\"being a hard link
|
|
.\"to directory
|
|
.\".Pa a .
|
|
.\"When such a loop exists and two separate processes attempt to
|
|
.\"perform
|
|
.\".Ql rename a/foo b/bar
|
|
.\"and
|
|
.\".Ql rename b/bar a/foo ,
|
|
.\"respectively,
|
|
.\"the system may deadlock attempting to lock
|
|
.\"both directories for modification.
|
|
.\"Hard links to directories should be
|
|
.\"replaced by symbolic links by the system administrator.
