     _F_r_o_m must be the pathname of an existing file.  _T_o will
     become the new pathname for the file.  If _t_o exists, then
     both _f_r_o_m and _t_o must be the same type of file, and must
     reside on the same filesystem.  If _t_o exists, it will be
     removed first.

     The returned value will be 0 if successful; a system error
     code otherwise.
