_________________________________________________________________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 specifica‐
tion of multi-file copy and/or move and/or deletion operations. Alter‐
nate 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.
PUBLIC API
The main command of the package is:
::fileutil::multi ?word...?
This command interprets the specified words as file commands to
execute. See the section FILE API of the documentation for the
package fileutil::multi::op for the set of acceptable commands,
their syntax, and semantics.
The result of the command is the result generated by the last
file command it executed.
