Moving the file to directory by a Linux C program.

Hi All,

You can move the given file from source to given directory through Linux C program as mentioned in the below example:


If we need to move the info.txt file from its location /data/working to /data/archive folder just call this below function.

void MoveTheFileToDir(void)

{

char cMvFileToDirCmd[1024];

sprintf(cMvFileToDirCmd, "mv \/data\/working\/info.txt \/data\/archive");

system(cMvFileToDirCmd) ;

}

Assumptions: Both /data/working and /data/archive are in immediate after the root folder such as root folder/data/working. In Linux root folder can be referred by "/" character

If the /data/working is in another folder after the root let us say 

root directory/device/data/working then file path need to be changed and the program changes as below.

void MoveTheFileToDir(void)

{

char cMvFileToDirCmd[1024];

sprintf(cMvFileToDirCmd, "mv \/device\/data\/working\/info.txt \/device\/data\/archive");

system(cMvFileToDirCmd) ;

}
