| 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 | |
| 76 | If you give an invalid Perl expression you'll get a syntax error. | |
| 77 | .SH BUGS | |
| 78 | .I Rename | |
| 79 | does not check for the existence of target filenames, so use with care. | |
