"sui-move" is not a direct command. It refers to subcommands under sui client move.

General Usage:
sui client move <subcommand> [options] [arguments]

Examples:
sui client move publish [options] <path-to-package>
(Publishes a Move package)

sui client move call [options] --package <package-id> --module <module-name> --function <function-name> --args <arg1> [<arg2> ...]
(Calls a function on a deployed Move module)

--gas-budget [AMOUNT]
    Sets the maximum gas amount (in Sui MIST) to be used for the transaction. This is a crucial parameter to prevent excessive transaction fees.

--sender [ADDRESS]
    Specifies the sender's Sui address for the transaction. This address must be managed by the current client profile.

--gas-object [OBJECT_ID]
    Provides the ID of a specific gas object to be used for transaction fees. If not specified, the client will attempt to find a suitable gas object automatically.

--package [PACKAGE_ID]
    (For 'call' subcommand) The object ID of the deployed Move package containing the target module and function.

--module [MODULE_NAME]
    (For 'call' subcommand) The name of the Move module within the specified package.

--function [FUNCTION_NAME]
    (For 'call' subcommand) The name of the function to be invoked within the specified module.

--args [ARG1 ARG2 ...]
    (For 'call' subcommand) A list of arguments to pass to the Move function. Arguments must be formatted according to Move's type system (e.g., '10u64', '0x...::module::Type', 'true').

--json
    Outputs the transaction response or command result in JSON format, useful for scripting and programmatic interactions.

-y, --yes
    Bypasses all interactive confirmation prompts, automatically assuming 'yes' to proceed with the operation. Use with caution.

The term "sui-move" does not refer to a standalone Linux command in the traditional sense. Instead, it conceptualizes a group of commands within the Sui blockchain client (sui client) that interact with Move smart contracts. The Move language is a secure and robust programming language designed for writing smart contracts on blockchain platforms like Sui.

These sui client move subcommands allow users and developers to perform essential operations such as publishing new Move packages (smart contracts) to the Sui network, calling specific functions within deployed Move modules, disassembling Move bytecode for inspection, and more. It's a core component for developing and managing decentralized applications (dApps) on the Sui blockchain.

It is critical to understand that "sui-move" is not a standalone executable or a universal Linux command. Its functionality is exclusively tied to the Sui blockchain ecosystem and requires the Sui client CLI to be installed and configured. Users looking for general file movement should use the standard Linux mv command.

For comprehensive and up-to-date information on the Sui blockchain, the Sui client CLI, and Move development, refer to the official Sui documentation portal, which provides detailed guides, API references, and tutorials.

The Move programming language was originally developed by Meta (formerly Facebook) for its Diem (Libra) blockchain project. After Diem was discontinued, Move found new life in independent blockchain projects, including Sui, developed by Mysten Labs. The `sui client move` commands are integral to Sui's design, enabling direct interaction with its smart contract layer, leveraging Move's security and expressiveness for asset management and decentralized applications.
