mved - carefully rename multiple files and directories

Description

mved renames multiple files and directories in a deeply paranoid fashion. At the slightest hint that you are going to destroy your files, it will bail out and tell you why.

mved is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

For more information, read the manual entry in the Documentation section.
