This page is in another package. See http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/man_pages_other.html Thanks for the link. The man page in question says, near the end, "The rename command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/." If this Bugzilla is not the correct place to report bugs on packages distributed by kernel.org, can you please point me to the place that is? |
util-linux-2.22.2/misc-utils/rename.1 includes the text: .SH EXAMPLES Given the files .IR foo1 ", ..., " foo9 ", " foo10 ", ..., " foo278 , the commands .RS .PP .nf rename foo foo0 foo? rename foo foo0 foo?? .fi .PP .RE will turn them into .IR foo001 ", ..., " foo009 ", " foo010 ", ..., " foo278 . This is not what those two commands will actually do. To produce the described result, the first command, instead of: rename foo foo0 foo? should be: rename foo foo00 foo?
