# prcs-move(1)

Tools to help dealing with file renamings in combination with PRCS

## NAME

prcs-move - Tools to help dealing with file renamings in combination with PRCS

## SYNOPSIS

**prcs-mv** *src* *dst*

**prcs-what-may-move**

**prcs-ttyask-move** *src-list* *dst-list*

**prcs-assist-move**

## DESCRIPTION

- **prcs-mv**

  Renames *src* into *dst*, both in the filesystem and in the prj file (that's for everyday work).

  With option **-p**, only impacts prj file, and does not check anything in the filesystem (used by prcs-assist-move, usable manually for renamings that can't be guessed).

- **prcs-what-may-move**

  Prints on stdout the list of files that are candidates for renaming (those that would be ADDED or DELETED by prcs populate -d) in a format suitable as input for **prcs-ttyask-move**

- **prcs-ttyask-move**

  Takes from *src-list* a list of candidate files for renaming, attempts to match them based on their filenames (that is, only catch dir-hierarchy reorgs), and asks the user what to do with matches (using perl Term::Readline).  Records those renamings in *dst-list* along with unchanged lines.

- **prcs-assist-move**

  Runs prcs-ttyask-move on prcs-what-may-move output, then prcs-mv -p on the files the user specified as renames.
