1.
Why does the mv command work to rename files?
The mv command moves files and directories from one directory to another or to rename a file or directory. If you move a file or directory to a new directory without specifying a new name, it retains its original name. Rename command is used to make bulk naming changes. The mv command assumes you know what you are doing and overwrite the destination file. If you move
a directory to another directory, mv assumes you want to keep the basename of your original directory and create it on the target directory.
2.
Explain the difference between absolute path and relative path.
An absolute path refers to the same location in a file system relative to the root directory, whereas a relative path points to a specific location in a file system relative to the current directory you are working on.
