I think the author intended it to be used for files. He may be open to a suggestion to extend it for directories (or even a patch?). It would be faster to simply use system ("mv ...); Go ahead... Not as portable, but if you understand the constraints, there is nothing wrong with that at all.	[reply]

One other point to keep in mind is that using system() can be a security issue. Especially if you are passing user input to the system call. This node has a quick explanation of the issue.	[reply]
