Well, in a nutshell…

simple rename - the source and target file objects are the same only their
names get changed, not the directories.

Fully Qualified rename - As the name suggests, an *absolute* name (with full
path ) identifies the target object, which may or may not have the same name
as th source. However, the fully qualified (complete) source and targetr
file name *will* be different.

Relative Rename - Here the target file name is specified as a filename
relative to a directory. Ofcourse, the complete (fully qualified) names of
source and target will not be the same.

I hope that clears your doubts.
