tcllib 0.2 fileutil::multi(3tcl)
Description
This package provides a single command to perform actions on multiple files selected by glob patterns. It
is a thin layer over the package fileutil::multi::op which provides objects for the same. This package
simply creates a single such object and directs all file commands to it.
At the core is a domain specific language allowing the easy specification of multi-file copy and/or move
and/or deletion operations. Alternate names would be scatter/gather processor, or maybe even assembler.
For the detailed specification of this language, and examples, please see the documention for the package
fileutil::multi::op.
Keywords
copy, file utilities, move, multi-file, remove
