Trying to move files to another directory!

[willz99ta]

Thanks for reading my message,

I am trying to use a filename array (listing all filenames to process) to move files from one directory to another.

I have used the remove command to delete files using C. Is there a similar command to copy or move files to another directory?

Thanks,
Willz99ta

No.
It wouldn't be hard though, especially with no error checking.

void cp(char *arg1, char *arg2) {
FILE *one,*two;
char buf[512];
               one = fopen(arg2,"r");
	       two = fopen(arg1,"a");
	       while ( (fgets(buf,512,one)) != NULL) { 
		       printf("DEBUG: %s",buf);             
	               fputs(buf,two);
                }
		fclose(one);
		fclose(two);
return;
}

That's a copy, you'd still need to delete...

There has to be a faster way, because unix copy and unix move are alot different as far as time taken. I can move a file in no time on Linux or any unix (assumin I'm staying on the same physical disk) because it just changes the inode for file and the inodes for the directories in which the file resides...

Howsabout rename...
