Rename directory in linux system

Question

I asked 'change filename without using mv command and rename function' few days ago, and @nos answered me. So I try to use 'link' function.(It seems to create a hard link.)

But, it is not available with a directory.

Is there any way to change a directory name without using 'rename' function and 'mv' command?

I can use my copy function and delete function, but it is too hard and wasteful to just change a directory name.

I just want to know whether there is any way to change a directory name without using 'rename' function and 'mv' command.

I'm so sorry about my poor English skill... ;(...

Answer 1

Try this answer!

mv /home/user/oldname /home/user/newname

Answer 2

If you just want to rename the folder(not moving file to different folder) use below command.

mv oldFolderName newFolderName
