    I have an application which is written in C. The application contains
    command cp to copy a file to another file name, then use
    command rm to delete the original file. Some people think that is
    better then using command mv in a C program to rename a file because
    the mv command dose not always work in a C program, it get hung
    sometime.
    Would anyone please explain why and why not?

    Thanks.
