int renameat(int olddirfd , const char * oldpath ,
int newdirfd , const char * newpath );
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
- Since glibc 2.10:
- _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
- Before glibc 2.10:
- _ATFILE_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The renameat() system call operates in exactly the same way as rename(2), except for the differences described in this manual page.RETURN VALUE
On success, renameat() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.ERRORS
The same errors that occur for rename(2) can also occur for renameat(). The following additional errors can occur for renameat():- EBADF
- olddirfd or newdirfd is not a valid file descriptor.
- ENOTDIR
- oldpath is relative and olddirfd is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory; or similar for newpath and newdirfd
VERSIONS
renameat() was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16; library support was added to glibc in version 2.4.CONFORMING TO
