Binary name mc clashes with Midnight Commander #2060

The binary for Midnight Commander is also mc which

  1. Clashes with the binary that already exists in many systems
  2. Means that the docs and the installation output is at best potentially misleading, at worst plain wrong.

Given that Midnight Commander's first commit was more than 20 years ago, perhaps this project needs to review the name of its binary? Personally I have used minioclient.

We will not be doing this similar issues closed in the past and provide a better explanation https://github.com/minio/mc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+midnight+commander+is%3Aclosed

A very simple solution would be here - #873 (comment)

Another problem: bash autocompletions mean that filenames don't complete with the mc command -- just directories.
