copy file filecopy
The command MV is used to move a file in simple Linux Code. This command will move files and directories from one spot to another spot. To move a file, one would simply type in the letters MV before its name.
The 'file' command in Unix attempts to guess what type of file you are looking at by reading the first several sections of the file and comparing it to a list of known contents for files. It is a useful command if you just want to know what type of file something is without having to examine it yourself. The command is not perfect because it does not detect all types of files but it does a reasonable job of guessing. It is used because in Unix there are no file extension types to tell us what kind of file a given file might be; you have to look inside the file to tell how it might be used.
If you are asking about how can you find the type of file something is, the command is 'file' followed by the filename. This command will attempt to tell you something about the file and how it might be used.
