NAME
       rename - rename a file

SYNOPSIS
       integer function rename (from, to)
       character*(*) from, to

DESCRIPTION
       _F_r_o_m  must be the pathname of an existing file.  _T_o will become the new

       same  type  of  file,  and  must  reside on the same filesystem.  If _t_o
       exists, it will be removed first.

       The returned value will be 0 if successful; a system error code  other‐
       wise.
