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. Alternate 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 package
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.
