This is a noobie linux question.
I cannot seem to find a simple linux command to do the following:
mv /one/long/path/on/a/partition/file
/another/path/on/another/partition/file
i.e. simply move a file around across directories and partitions. The
names and paths are not necessarily the

So far all that I have been able to do is
mkdir /another
cd another
mkdir path
cd path
mkdir on
cd on
mkdir another
cd another
mkdir partition
cd partition
cp /one/long/path/on/a/partition/file .
mkdir -p

Isn't there an easy way to do this?
How about:

Actually I was looking at this from a C++ point of view. You have a
simple file.open() command for source and destination. This command
includes the path +

Thanks for your suggestions, I went ahead and looked at the cp source
code and some C++ programming references and created a copy command
which does have the full path in both the source and destination files.
The tricky part is getting a suitable size read buffer, particularly
