Step 2: Verify the Renaming
bashCopyEditls -l ~
Expected Output:
sqlCopyEditdrwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Mar 29 12:34 backup_dir
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Mar 29 12:34 dir1
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Mar 29 12:34 dir2
dir3
should no longer be listed.backup_dir
should be present instead.
Explanation:
mv
(move) is used for both moving and renaming files/directories.Since we specified the same location (
~
), it renamesdir3
tobackup_dir
.
