DESCRIPTION

24       This  package  provides a single command to perform actions on multiple
25       files selected by glob patterns. It is a thin layer  over  the  package
26       fileutil::multi::op  which  provides objects for the same. This package
27       simply creates a single such object and directs all  file  commands  to
28       it.
29
30       At  the core is a domain specific language allowing the easy specifica‐
31       tion of multi-file copy and/or move and/or deletion operations.  Alter‐
32       nate  names would be scatter/gather processor, or maybe even assembler.
33       For the detailed specification of this language, and  examples,  please
34       see the documention for the package fileutil::multi::op.
35

PUBLIC API

37       The main command of the package is:
38
39       ::fileutil::multi ?word...?
40              This  command interprets the specified words as file commands to
41              execute. See the section FILE API of the documentation  for  the
42              package  fileutil::multi::op for the set of acceptable commands,
43              their syntax, and semantics.
44
45              The result of the command is the result generated  by  the  last
46              file command it executed.
