Subject: Re: `rename-file' with leading spaces in filename
Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 17:11:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1EsST2-0007xO-NL@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <43B54224.7000703@gmx.at> (message from martin rudalics on Fri, 30 Dec 2005 15:20:20 +0100)

    Suppose I have a file called "c:/foo"

    Doing M-x rename-file RET c:/foo RET c:/ foo

At that point, which relevant files exist?

	   M-x rename-file RET c:/ foo RET c:/foo

    gets me:

    File c:/foo already exists; rename to it anyway? (y or n)

Can you determine which primitive concludes that it exists
and see what arguments it got?
