# move(src, dest, [options, callback])
Moves a file or directory, even across devices.
- `src` `<String>`
- `dest` `<String>`
- `options` `<Object>`
- `overwrite` `<boolean>`: overwrite existing file or directory, default is `false`.
- `callback` `<Function>`
## Example:
```js
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const srcpath = '/tmp/file.txt'
const dstpath = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
// With a callback:
fs.move(srcpath, dstpath, err => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log('success!')
})
// With Promises:
fs.move(srcpath, dstpath)
.then(() => {
console.log('success!')
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err)
})
// With async/await:
async function example (src, dest) {
try {
await fs.move(srcpath, dstpath)
console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
}
}
example(srcpath, dstpath)
```
**Using `overwrite` option**
```js
const fs = require('fs-extra')
fs.move('/tmp/somedir', '/tmp/may/already/existed/somedir', { overwrite: true }, err => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log('success!')
})
```
