mv switch order bug

[Gary Argraves]

Hello,

 

 

 

   There seems to be a 'mv' bug where it prefers the -i to follow the --reply=no option switch.My system is RedHat Linux ver 9.0.

 

   e.g.,

 

   mv -vi --reply=no f1 f2      # will incorrectly write over f2

 

   however,

 

   mv -v --reply=no -i f1 f2    # will correctly NOT write over f2

 

   This does not seem to be a bug if the target is a directory name.

 

 

Thanks,

Gary
