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 specification of multi-file copy and/or  move
       and/or  deletion  operations. Alternate 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.
