Rename Intrinsic (subroutine)

     CALL Rename(Path1, Path2, Status)
     

Path1: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Path2: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Status: INTEGER(KIND=1); OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Intrinsic groups: unix.

Description:

Renames the file Path1 to Path2. A null character (CHAR(0)) marks the end of the names in Path1 and Path2--otherwise, trailing blanks in Path1 and Path2 are ignored. See rename(2). If the Status argument is supplied, it contains 0 on success or a nonzero error code upon return.

Some non-GNU implementations of Fortran provide this intrinsic as only a function, not as a subroutine, or do not support the (optional) Status argument.
