Notes
- API call implemented in OZ 5.0
- If TODIR option is set, the destination path must be an existing directory.
- If TOFILE option is set, source file (or directory) is renamed to target name. This name should be verified not to be already existing before.
- This call is fast when files are on the same device because only file header (node) is moved.
- When files are moved accross devices then a file copying followed by a file deletion are performed.
