These questions are easily answered with one of my favorite release 4
commands, truss.  Truss is a system call tracer:

	$ mkdir one
	$ truss mv one two
	execve("/usr/bin/mv", 0xC07FFF00, 0xC07FFF10)  argc = 3
	open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY, 0)			= 3
	getuid()					= 0  [ 0 ]
	getuid()					= 0  [ 0 ]
	getgid()					= 0  [ 0 ]
	getgid()					= 0  [ 0 ]
	close(3)					= 0
	lxstat(2, "one", 0x80004F28)			= 0
	lxstat(2, "two", 0x80004FB0)			Err#2  ENOENT
	rename("one", "two")				= 0
	_exit(0)
	$

Yes, mv uses rename().
