You can't rename functions,variables, classes,..... in any programming language. In c, a name presents a pointers to location in the memory and that is static.In addition, even if you was able to change it's name, you will have then to change it's calling in the source code.
The rename() function shall change the name of a file. The old argument points to the pathname of the file to be renamed. The new argument points to the new pathname of the file.
To rename a file in the terminal, move the file with mv from itself to itself with a new name. Here's an example. To rename a file on a computer with a graphical interface, you open a window, find the file you want to rename, click on its name (or right-click and select the option to rename), and then enter a new name.
System.IO.File.Move(oldNameFullPath, newNameFullPath); Take a look at System.IO.File.Move, "move" the file to a new name.
