.SH INTERACTIVE MODE
|

|
As most standard utilities rename can be used with a terminal device (tty in
|
||||||
|
short) in canonical mode, where the line is buffered by the tty and you press
|
||||||
|
ENTER to validate the user input. If you put your tty in cbreak mode however,
|
||||||
|
rename requires only a single key press to answer the prompt. To set cbreak
|
||||||
|
mode, run for example:
|
||||||
|
.RS
|

.PP
|
||||||
|
.nf
|

sh -c 'stty -icanon min 1; "$0" "$@"; stty icanon' rename -i from to files
