qmv:tldr:48d22
The command "qmv --recursive ${path-to-directory}" is used to recursively rename multiple files or directories simultaneously using a text editor.
Here is what each part of the command means:
-
"qmv": It is the command-line tool used to perform batch renaming of files or directories. It stands for "query-replace with a text editor in a directory tree."
-
"--recursive": This option tells the qmv command to perform the renaming operation recursively, meaning it will affect all files and directories within the specified directory and its subdirectories.
-
"${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder for the actual path of the directory where the renaming will take place. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory you want to recursively rename.
In summary, the command "qmv --recursive ${path-to-directory}" allows you to use a text editor to rename multiple files and directories in a specific directory and its subdirectories.
