+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Rename the command that used to be called \fIoldName\fR so that it
+is now called \fInewName\fR.
+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.
