mv directory recursively

[hirohitosan]

Hi there.
I'm sorry for this basic question.
How can I move directory recursively to the destination?

I tried

mv -R source_dir destination_directory
mv: illegal option -- R
usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
       mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory

this command usually works on all other Linux systems ...

Just do

mv dir1 dir2

No, it works the same way.

I think you're confusing move with remove. rm(1) has a recursive -R option while mv(1) doesn't (and doesn't need one).

Yes, mv is always recursive, rm and cp need a -R for that.
