       To move a batch job is to remove the batch job from the batch queue in
       which it resides and instantiate the batch job in another batch queue.
       A batch job is moved by a request to the batch server that manages the
       batch job. The _q_m_o_v_e utility is a user-accessible batch client that
       requests the movement of one or more batch jobs.

       The _q_m_o_v_e utility shall move those batch jobs, and only those batch
       jobs, for which a batch _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_r is presented to the utility.

       The _q_m_o_v_e utility shall move batch jobs in the order in which the
       corresponding batch _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_rs are presented to the utility.

       If the _q_m_o_v_e utility fails to process a batch _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_r
       successfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
       _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_rs, if any.

       The _q_m_o_v_e utility shall move batch jobs by sending a _M_o_v_e _J_o_b _R_e_q_u_e_s_t
       to the batch server that manages each batch job. The _q_m_o_v_e utility
       shall not exit before the batch jobs corresponding to all successfully
       processed batch _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_rs have been moved.

       The _q_m_o_v_e utility shall accept one operand that conforms to the syntax
       for a destination (see _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _3_._3_._2, _D_e_s_t_i_n_a_t_i_o_n).

       The _q_m_o_v_e utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the
       syntax for a batch _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_r (see _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _3_._3_._1, _B_a_t_c_h _J_o_b
       _I_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_r).

       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
       _q_m_o_v_e:

       _L_A_N_G      Provide a default value for the internationalization
                 variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions
                 volume of POSIX.1-2008, _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _8_._2, _I_n_t_e_r_n_a_t_i_o_n_a_l_i_z_a_t_i_o_n
                 _V_a_r_i_a_b_l_e_s the precedence of internationalization variables
                 used to determine the values of locale categories.)

       _L_C___A_L_L    If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
                 all the other internationalization variables.

       _L_C___C_T_Y_P_E  Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
                 bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
                 opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).

       _L_C___M_E_S_S_A_G_E_S
                 Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
                 and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
                 error.

       _L_O_G_N_A_M_E   Determine the login name of the user.

       The following exit values shall be returned:

       >0    An error occurred.

CCOONNSSEEQQUUEENNCCEESS OOFF EERRRROORRSS
       In addition to the default behavior, the _q_m_o_v_e utility shall not be
       required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error
       reply received from a batch server indicates that the batch
       _j_o_b___i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_r does not exist on the server. Whether or not the _q_m_o_v_e
       utility waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to
       locate the job on other servers is implementation-defined.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       The _q_m_o_v_e utility allows users to move jobs between queues.

       The alternative to using the _q_m_o_v_e utility--deleting the batch job and
       requeuing it--entails considerably more typing.

       Since the means of selecting jobs based on attributes has been
       encapsulated in the _q_s_e_l_e_c_t utility, the only option of the _q_m_o_v_e
       utility concerns authorization. The --uu option provides the user with
       the convenience of changing the user identifier under which the batch
       job will execute. Minimalism and consistency have taken precedence over
       convenience; the --uu option has been deleted because the equivalent
       capability exists with the --uu option of the _q_a_l_t_e_r utility.

FFUUTTUURREE DDIIRREECCTTIIOONNSS
       The _q_m_o_v_e utility may be removed in a future version.
