* man: Use the correct macro for a font change of one argumentBjarni Ingi Gislason2018-05-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | Use the correct macro (I, B) for the font change of one argument, not those that are used for alternating two fonts, like "BR", "IR", "RB", or "RI". Signed-off-by: Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@rhi.hi.is>

* rename: add option --interactive to ask before overwritingG.raud Meyer2018-04-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | The option name -i/--interactive is picked from mv(1) and cp(1) from GNU and BSD. Also update the manpage.
* rename: prevent --no-act from setting --no-overwriteG.raud Meyer2018-03-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug introduced by commit fabb90676 ("Added --no-override option to rename.", 2017-05-27) where the fallthrough meant to let --no-act set --verbose was changed to set --no-override (the previous code was too smart). Do not let --no-act set --verbose anymore but update the manual to recommend adding option --verbose. This is to be able to make --no-act detect only non existing file arguments (in a future commit).
* rename: fix/reverse the semantics of --no-overwrite in --symlink modeG.raud Meyer2018-03-271-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | The previous behaviour was to overwrite a symlink only when the new destination did not exist, i.e. to avoid creating a symlink to an existing file! It had not been documented and it seems counter-intuitive to me. So the new behavior protects symlinks pointing to existing targets from being changed. Also update manpage to document this mode.

Also improve here and there the one-line program description. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
* docs: rename.1 verbose, long options and warningSami Kerola2011-06-251-14/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add new verbose and long options to manual page. I also added warning section which hopefully gets read by people who run the command first time. It might be good idea to make the rename such that it would not overwrite by default, and have a --force option if an use wants that. In current state the rename is somewhat dangerous.
