DESCRIPTION

       This  package provides a single command to perform actions on multiple files selected by glob patterns. It is a thin layer over the package
       fileutil::multi::op which provides objects for the same. This package simply creates a single such object and directs all file commands	to
       it.

       At the core is a domain specific language allowing the easy specification of multi-file copy and/or move and/or deletion operations. Alter-
       nate names would be scatter/gather processor, or maybe even assembler.  For the detailed specification  of  this  language,  and  examples,
       please see the documention for the package fileutil::multi::op.

PUBLIC API

       The main command of the package is:

       ::fileutil::multi ?word...?
	      This command interprets the specified words as file commands to execute. See the section FILE API of the documentation for the pack-
	      age fileutil::multi::op for the set of acceptable commands, their syntax, and semantics.

	      The result of the command is the result generated by the last file command it executed.
