💖 NAME 💖

hrename — rename or move an HFS file or directory. it's giving makeover era, bestie 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hrename hfs-src-path [...]  hfs-target-path

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so hrename changes the name and/or location of one or more files or directories. like, it literally picks your file up and puts it somewhere better. main character relocation energy. ✨

If only one source path is specified and the target path is in the same directory as the source, only the name is changed. so it's just a rebrand, no moving truck involved. 🎀

Otherwise the source object is moved as well as possibly being renamed. both things at once?? we love a multitasker. 💅

If multiple source paths are specified, the target must be a directory, and all of the source objects will be moved into it (keeping the same names.) no cap — they keep their names, they just all move in together. 🏠✨

If the source path refers to the root directory of a volume, the volume name will be changed. 🫶 The root directory cannot be moved. periodt, that one's staying put.

Note that volume names can only have 1-27 characters, while all other names may have 1-31 characters. ⚠️ count your characters bestie, the volume name budget is SMALLER 😭
