The path_rename() function renames a file or directory specified by the given path. It requires the PATH_RENAME_SOURCE right on the source directory and the PATH_RENAME_TARGET right on the target directory.

On POSIX systems, a similar functionality is provided by the rename() function. It renames a file or directory with the specified source and target paths. The rename() function is part of the POSIX standard and is widely supported across different platforms.

Note

The path_rename() function renames a file or directory specified by the given source path to the target path. It checks the necessary rights on both the source and target directories. On POSIX systems, a similar functionality is provided by the rename() function.
