portage.util.movefile.movefile(src, dest, newmtime=None, sstat=None, mysettings=None, hardlink_candidates=None, encoding='utf_8')

moves a file from src to dest, preserving all permissions and attributes; mtime will be preserved even when moving across filesystems. Returns mtime as integer on success and None on failure. mtime is expressed in seconds in Python <3.3 and nanoseconds in Python >=3.3. Move is atomic.
