.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a \fBmv\fR\|(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.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
The following command line options are available.
.IP "\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR" 4
.IX Item "-v, --verbose"
Display some processing information.
.IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-trace\fR" 4
.IX Item "-t, --trace"
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
.IP "\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-expand\fR" 4
.IX Item "-e, --expand"
Expand asterisk in \fIsrc\fR to be used as "\f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR\fIn\fR" (where \fIn\fR is
\&\f(CW1\fR,\f(CW2\fR,...) in \fIdst-file\fR. This is useful for renaming multiple
files at once.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-preserve\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p, --preserve"
Detect \fIsrc-file\fR and \fIdst-file\fR 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.
