Help with Linux command... typo '-t' instead of '-i' switch with 'mv' command

[kpm]

the manual pages for 'mv' state that the '-t' switch is -t, "--target-directory=DIRECTORY move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY"
I wanted to move a directory from the current directory to another and made a typo:
"mv -tnodewords ../../../../drupal-5-7/sites/all"

the '-tnodewords' should have been '-i nodewords'

so... just what did I do here?? I can't find that directory anywhere...

According to what I read and tried "../../../../drupal-5-7/sites/all" should be in the nodewords directory that was in your current directory when you executed the move. To test this I did:

mkdir dir1 dir2
mv -tdir1 dir2

At the end of that sequence dir2 was in dir1.

Thanks! That makes sense... it was there. Sent myself into a bit of a panic with that switch typo...
