1 This is mmv, a program to move/copy/append/link multiple files according to a
2 set of wildcard patterns. All csh wildcards ('*', '?', '['...']', and '~') are
3 supported. This multiple action is performed safely, i.e. without any
4 unexpected deletion of files due to collisions of target names with existing
5 filenames or with other target names. Furthermore, before doing anything, mmv
6 attempts to detect any errors that would result from the entire set of actions
7 specified and gives the user the choice of either aborting before beginning, or
8 proceeding by avoiding the offending parts.
