SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)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
The GNU shtool move command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool.

shtool-mkln - GNU shtool enhanced ln(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkln [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-s|--symbolic] src-path [src-path ...] dst-path
DESCRIPTION
This is a ln(1) style command. It is enhanced to provide automatic calculation and usage of relative links with the shortest possible path,
if possible. Usually if src-path and dst-path are not absolute paths or at least they share a common prefix except the root directory
(``"/"''). When more than one src-path is specified, all of them are linked into dst-path.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-f, --force
Force the creation of the link even if it exists. Default is to fail with error.
-s, --symbolic
Create a symbolic link instead of a hard-link.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux
HISTORY
The GNU shtool fixperm command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for ePerl.
