36 | .TH RENAME 1 "July 30, 1990" |
37 | .AT 3 |
38 | .SH NAME |
39 | rename \- renames multiple files |
40 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
41 | .B rename perlexpr [files] |
42 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
43 | .I Rename |
44 | renames the filenames supplied according to the rule specified as the |
45 | first argument. |
46 | The argument is a Perl expression which is expected to modify the $_ |
47 | string in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified. |
48 | If a given filename is not modified by the expression, it will not be |
49 | renamed. |
50 | If no filenames are given on the command line, filenames will be read |
51 | via standard input. |
52 | .PP |
53 | For example, to rename all files matching *.bak to strip the extension, |
54 | you might say |
55 | .nf |
56 | |
57 | rename 's/\e.bak$//' *.bak |
58 | |
59 | .fi |
60 | To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use |
61 | .nf |
62 | |
63 | rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * |
64 | |
65 | .fi |
66 | .SH ENVIRONMENT |
67 | No environment variables are used. |

75 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS |

77 | .SH BUGS |
78 | .I Rename |
79 | does not check for the existence of target filenames, so use with care. |
