Hi there !
Few minutes ago, my mate asked me 'is there any way to swap two
files ?'. I have realized, that the mv has option -S but it's all about
suffix. I think, there should be also -s for swapping. It should work
like:
mv -s a b
Effect should be like:
a -> tmp
b -> a
tmp -> b
Think about it
A fairly useful feature, but something as noted here
that might be more suited to a separate script,
that could be maintained within coreutils under the
recently mentioned contrib/ directory

I read this page:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-02/msg00014.html
So I would really like to create that program. Is it still even needed?
Cool, thanks!
I would prototype a script in shell,
with possibly some of the same considerations as in this "rewrite" script,
