NAME
ArchiveName - Rename a file to Archivist format.
SYNOPSIS
ArchiveName <switches> <filename>
-d | --debug Turn on internal debug code, if any.
-v ! --verbose=num Set level of diagnostic output. 0 for none.
-h | --help Print this usage information.
--man Print the man page for this command.
Convert a file to the Archivist naming format by prepending the file's mdate (the date last modified) in ISO date format:
<date>-<filename>
If the filename already has a prepended date, ArchiveName will leave it alone. For example, both:
ArchiveName MyTestFile
ArchiveName 20040901-MyTestFile
will result in the target file having the name:
20040901-MyTestFile
This format is quite useful as it causes archived files to collate by the date at which you actually last worked on them.
[It should handle lists of files; it should handle wildcards and in particular, entire directories when given /my/dir/* as a filename]
Examples
