What is mv in post below - Rename file/folder

The desolatesoul was kind enough to send me the core code of which I created this sub. I have tested it with files up to 1.5gig. You must pass the full path and file name for the original and the new file. It returns True if the file was renamed and False if it was not.

Uses the Phone library

Call with:

B4X:

RenameFile("/mnt/sdcard/Movies/Monsters_HQ.mp4", "/mnt/sdcard/Movies/M_HQ.mp4")

B4X:

Sub RenameFile(OriginalFileName As String, NewFileName As String) As Boolean
   Dim Result As Int
   Dim StdOut, StdErr As StringBuilder
   StdOut.Initialize
   StdErr.Initialize
   Dim Ph As Phone
   Result = Ph.Shell("mv " & OriginalFileName & " " & NewFileName, Null,  StdOut, StdErr)
   If Result = 0 Then
      Return True
   Else
      Return False
   End If
End Sub
