39 | .TH RELINK 1 "July 30, 1990" |
40 | .AT 3 |
41 | .SH LINK |
42 | relink \- relinks multiple symbolic links |
43 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
44 | .B relink perlexpr [symlinknames] |
45 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
46 | .I Relink |
47 | relinks the symbolic links given according to the rule specified as the |
48 | first argument. |
49 | The argument is a Perl expression which is expected to modify the $_ |
50 | string in Perl for at least some of the names specified. |
51 | For each symbolic link named on the command line, the Perl expression |
52 | will be executed on the contents of the symbolic link with that name. |
53 | If a given symbolic link's contents is not modified by the expression, |
54 | it will not be changed. |
55 | If a name given on the command line is not a symbolic link, it will be ignored. |
56 | If no names are given on the command line, names will be read |
57 | via standard input. |
58 | .PP |
59 | For example, to relink all symbolic links in the current directory |
60 | pointing to somewhere in X11R3 so that they point to X11R4, you might say |
61 | .nf |
62 | |
63 | relink 's/X11R3/X11R4/' * |
64 | |
65 | .fi |
66 | To change all occurences of links in the system from /usr/spool to /var/spool, |
67 | you'd say |
68 | .nf |
69 | |
70 | find / -type l -print | relink 's#/usr/spool#/var/spool#' |
71 | |
