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

HISTORY
