NAME
     rename - rename a file

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

DESCRIPTION
     From must be the pathname of an existing file.  To will
     become the new pathname for the file.  If to exists, then
     both from and to must be the same type of file, and must
     reside on the same filesystem.  If to exists, it will be
     removed first.

     The returned value will be 0 if successful; a system error
     code otherwise.

FILES
     /usr/lib/libU77.a

SEE ALSO

BUGS
     Pathnames can be no longer than MAXPATHLEN as defined in
     <sys/param.h>.
