NAME
shtool-move - GNU shtool enhanced mv(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool move [ -v | --verbose ] [ -t | --trace ] [ -e | --expand ] [ -p | --preserve ] src-file dst-file
DESCRIPTION
This is a mv (1) style command enhanced with the ability to rename multiple files in a single operation and the ability to detect and not touch existing equal destinations files, thus preserving timestamps.
OPTIONS
The following
command line options are available.
-v
,
--verbose
Display some processing information.
-t , --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-e , --expand
Expand asterisk in src to be used as ""%" n " (where n is 1,2,...) in dst-file . This is useful for renaming multiple files at once.
-p , --preserve
Detect src-file and dst-file having equal content and not touch existing destination files, thus perserving timestamps. This is useful for applications that monitor timestamps, i.e. suppress make(1L) repeating actions for unchanged files.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool move -v -e '*.txt' %1.asc
# Makefile
scanner.c: scanner.l
lex scanner.l
shtool move -t -p lex.yy.c scanner.c
