! A screenshot of a Linux terminal showing some packages being installed. One of the package is named "fribidi". This name rhymes with something that evokes visceral horrors beyond comprehension.

Somewhat OT, but some commands can be annoyingly inconsistent and/or confusing as well. Examples:
cprequires the-rflag to copy directories recursively, whilemvdoes not need any additional flags.findsearches for files in real-time based on various criteria, whilelocateuses a pre-built database to find files quickly. I know they have separate use cases, but for beginners...The
zipsyntax is straightforward for both archiving and compressing. For example,ยzip archive.zip file1 file2. Thetarsyntax on the other hand is confusing, especially when adding compression. I mean, look at this bad boy:tar -czvf archive.tar.gz file1 file2.Wonder if I should post this under !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world. ๐
but how would you mv something without moving all it contains?
is there a non -r use case? ๐ค
I see it as: mv is just renaming a file, in this case a directory file, with a different full name (path)
