Very good example. Overwriting the contents of a file does not change the inode number.
Simple file editors such as "vi" do change the inode number because of the need to preserve the original file up to the last minute in case you abandon the edit.

I have 84 files with the following names splitseqs.1, spliseqs.2 etc.
and I want to change the .number to a unique filename.
E.g.

xfmtype
XFMTYPE(1) XFM XFMTYPE(1)
NAME
xfmtype - xfm file type tester
SYNOPSIS
xfmtype -m magic_file [-f] filename ...
DESCRIPTION
The xfmtype program reads a magic configuration file and tests each file in its command line to tell its type according to the configura-
tion file.
The format of the configuration file is the similar to magic(5) with the differences described in 0
OPTIONS
-f file
Consider the following argument as a file, even if it begins with `-'.
-m file
Specifies a configuration file. You can specify more than one configuration file with several -m flags. They are read in the order in
which they are found. Configuration files do not have effect until they are encountered in the command line. So, files to test in the
command line before that switch will not be affected by it.
BUILT IN TYPES
If no rule matches a specified field or the type cannot be determined because of other reasons, one of the following built in types is
returned:
inode/x-unreadable The file could not be read.
inode/x-empty File size is zero.
text/plain The file looks like ACSII.
xfm will look into xfm_mime.type(5) for more guessing.
application/octet-stream Other regular file.
xfm will look into xfm_mime.type(5) for more guessing.
inode/directory A directory.
inode/chardevice A character device.
inode/blockdevice A block device.
inode/pipe A names pipe (fifo).
inode/socket A socket.
inode/default None of the above.
BUGS
Bad configuration lines cause undefined behavior. In general they are silently ignored, but that is not guaranteed.
There are no warning or error message except for the regular expression syntax.
There should be a syntax checking mode.
All of the above apply to xfm too.
