If \fInewName\fR is an empty string then \fIoldName\fR is deleted. \fIoldName\fR and \fInewName\fR may include namespace qualifiers (names of containing namespaces). If a command is renamed into a different namespace, future invocations of it will execute in the new namespace. The \fBrename\fR command returns an empty string as result. .SH KEYWORDS command, delete, namespace, rename
