Tool name collides with Midnight Commander #1981

mc binary is typically used by the Midnight Commander application. As you can see, this popular tool has been around for more than 20 years and still actively maintained.

Maybe renaming the Minio client to minioc or mioc (shorter) would help the two programs coexist.

We won't be doing this has been discussed and closed.. previously

mc is a single binary and can reside inside your application and is fully self contained. Besides, Minio Client is an object storage client. Midnight Commander (mc) is a free software clone of proprietary Norton Commander (nc). Minio and Midnight shares no code or ideas. Only their abbreviation is same.
