+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rename
+.Nd change the name of a file
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdio.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn rename "const char *from" "const char *to"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn Rename
+causes the link named
+.Fa from
+to be renamed as
+.Fa to .
+If 
+.Fa to
+exists, it is first removed.
+Both 
+.Fa from
+and
+.Fa to
+must be of the same type (that is, both directories or both
+non-directories), and must reside on the same file system.
+.Pp
+.Fn Rename
+guarantees that an instance of
+.Fa to
+will always exist, even if the system should crash in
+the middle of the operation.
+.Pp
+If the final component of
+.Fa from
+is a symbolic link,
+the symbolic link is renamed,
+not the file or directory to which it points.
+.Sh CAVEAT
+The system can deadlock if a loop in the file system graph is present.
+This loop takes the form of an entry in directory
+.Ql Pa a ,
+say
+.Ql Pa a/foo ,
+being a hard link to directory
+.Ql Pa b ,
+and an entry in
+directory
+.Ql Pa b ,
+say
+.Ql Pa b/bar ,
+being a hard link
+to directory
+.Ql Pa a .
+When such a loop exists and two separate processes attempt to
+perform
+.Ql rename a/foo b/bar
+and
+.Ql rename b/bar a/foo ,
+respectively, 
+the system may deadlock attempting to lock
+both directories for modification.
+Hard links to directories should be
+replaced by symbolic links by the system administrator.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+A 0 value is returned if the operation succeeds, otherwise
+.Fn rename
+returns -1 and the global variable 
+.Va errno
+indicates the reason for the failure.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Rename
+will fail and neither of the argument files will be
+affected if:
+.Bl -tag -width ENAMETOOLONG
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+Either pathname contains a character with the high-order bit set.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
+A component of either pathname exceeded 255 characters,
+or the entire length of either path name exceeded 1023 characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+A component of the
+.Fa from
+path does not exist,
+or a path prefix of
+.Fa to
+does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+A component of either path prefix denies search permission.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+The requested link requires writing in a directory with a mode
+that denies write permission.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The directory containing
+.Fa from
+is marked sticky,
+and neither the containing directory nor
+.Fa from
+are owned by the effective user ID.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The
+.Fa to
+file exists,
+the directory containing
+.Fa to
+is marked sticky,
+and neither the containing directory nor
+.Fa to
+are owned by the effective user ID.
+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating either pathname.
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of either path prefix is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+.Fa from
+is a directory, but
+.Fa to
+is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er EISDIR
+.Fa to
+is a directory, but
+.Fa from
+is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er EXDEV
+The link named by
+.Fa to
+and the file named by
+.Fa from
+are on different logical devices (file systems).  Note that this error
+code will not be returned if the implementation permits cross-device
+links.
+.It Bq Er ENOSPC
+The directory in which the entry for the new name is being placed
+cannot be extended because there is no space left on the file
+system containing the directory.
+.It Bq Er EDQUOT
+The directory in which the entry for the new name
+is being placed cannot be extended because the
+user's quota of disk blocks on the file system
+containing the directory has been exhausted.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred while making or updating a directory entry.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+The requested link requires writing in a directory on a read-only file
+system.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+.Em Path
+points outside the process's allocated address space.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa From
+is a parent directory of
+.Fa to ,
+or an attempt is made to rename
+.Ql \&.
+or
+.Ql \&.. .
+.It Bq Er ENOTEMPTY
+.Fa To
+is a directory and is not empty.
