mv command doesn't work with multiple files   ________________________________________________________________________ Applicable Environment ________________________________________________________________________ Topic: mv command doesn't work with multiple files SDP: 7.1.0 Target: Any supported target ________________________________________________________________________ Issue ________________________________________________________________________ The mv command on a QNX target cannot move multiple files across devices in a single command of the form: mv file.txt file2.txt destination/ ________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation ________________________________________________________________________ This is a known issue with the QNX mv binary. The current recommended workaround is to use the mv command that is part of the toybox utility, since the native mv (and other native commands) will be replaced by toybox utilities in a future release. See here for more information about toybox: https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/7.1/#com.qnx.doc.neutrino.utilities/topic/t/toybox.html View the attached text file to see the verbose output of the erroneous mv command, and its working counterpart using toybox. ________________________________________________________________________ NOTE: This entry has been validated against the SDP version listed above. Use caution when considering this advice for any other SDP version.
