PROGRAM:
NAME
rename - rename files
SYNOPSIS
rename [options] expression replacement file...
DESCRIPTION
rename will rename the specified files by replacing the first occurrence of expression in
their name by replacement.
OPTIONS
-s, --symlink
Do not rename a symlink but its target.
-v, --verbose
Show which files where renamed, if any.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
EXAMPLES
Given the files foo1, ..., foo9, foo10, ..., foo278, the commands
rename foo foo0 foo?
rename foo foo0 foo??
will turn them into foo001, ..., foo009, foo010, ..., foo278. And
rename .htm .html *.htm
will fix the extension of your html files.
WARNING
The renaming has no safeguards. If the user has permission to rewrite file names, the
command will perform the action without any questions. For example, the result can be
quite drastic when the command is run as root in the /lib directory. Always make a backup
before running the command, unless you truly know what you are doing.
