       _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.
