NAME

lsmv - print list with mv-commands in the current working directory

 

SYNOPSIS

edrc/bin/lsmv [ ls_options ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/edrc

 

DESCRIPTION

Print a list of mv commands with files in the current working directory to stdout. This is useful if many filenames have to be adjusted.

The common usage is to invoke lsmv, redirect the output to a temporary file, load the temporary file into vi, modify the filenames with the editing functionality of vi and then execute the commands in the temporary file. With this procedure it is very effective to rename many files.

This functionality might be used often when integrating a new application into a disaster recovery solution thru copying an existing application recovery sequence. In this case many files have to be reamed, but the content might be identical in many cases.

 

OPTIONS

ls_options
all native ls options.

 

EXIT STATUS

x
the exit status of mv.

 

EXAMPLES

1) common
lsmv usage:

lsmv > a; vi a; sh a; rm a
