-.TH RENAME 1 "July 30, 1990"
-.AT 3
-.SH NAME
-rename \- renames multiple files
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B rename [-i] perlexpr [files]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Rename
-renames the filenames supplied according to the rule specified as the
-first argument.
-The argument is a Perl expression which is expected to modify the $_
-string in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified.
-If a given filename is not modified by the expression, it will not be
-renamed.
-If no filenames are given on the command line, filenames will be read
-via standard input.
-.PP
-The
-.B \-i
-flag will prompt to remove the old file first if it exists. This
-flag will be ignored if there is no tty.
-.PP
-For example, to rename all files matching *.bak to strip the extension,
-you might say
-.nf
-
- rename 's/\e.bak$//' *.bak
-
-.fi
-To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use
-.nf
-
- rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
-
-.fi
-To do the same thing but leave Makefiles unharmed:
-.nf
-
- rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/ unless /^Make/' *
-
-.fi
-To rename all the *.f files to *.BAD, you'd use
-.nf
-
- rename 's/\e.f$/.BAD/' *.f
-
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-.fi
-No environment variables are used.

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