Simple file rename -

I'm trying to make a program that outputs an INI file. But while writing the file, i dont want to compromise the original. so i'm doing this


1 - read file.ini
2 - use/edit content
3 - write to file.tmp
4 - when done, rename file.tmp to file.ini (must over-write)


that way, if error happens during writing, say windows shuts down, program exits, etc. it will create a corrupted tmp file, but the good ini file is ok.


so i just need help on the last renaming command. like [rmfile(file.tmp,file.ini)] or something like that?
