45 | .TH RELINK 1 "July 30, 1990" | |
46 | .AT 3 | |
47 | .SH LINK | |
48 | relink \- relinks multiple symbolic links | |
49 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
50 | .B relink perlexpr [symlinknames] | |
51 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
52 | .I Relink | |
53 | relinks the symbolic links given according to the rule specified as the | |
54 | first argument. | |
55 | The argument is a Perl expression which is expected to modify the $_ | |
56 | string in Perl for at least some of the names specified. | |
57 | For each symbolic link named on the command line, the Perl expression | |
58 | will be executed on the contents of the symbolic link with that name. | |
59 | If a given symbolic link's contents is not modified by the expression, | |
60 | it will not be changed. | |
61 | If a name given on the command line is not a symbolic link, it will be ignored. | |
62 | If no names are given on the command line, names will be read | |
63 | via standard input. | |
64 | .PP | |
65 | For example, to relink all symbolic links in the current directory | |
66 | pointing to somewhere in X11R3 so that they point to X11R4, you might say | |
67 | .nf | |
68 | ||
69 | relink 's/X11R3/X11R4/' * | |
70 | ||
71 | .fi | |
72 | To change all occurences of links in the system from /usr/spool to /var/spool, | |
73 | you'd say | |
74 | .nf | |
75 | ||
76 | find / -type l -print | relink 's#/usr/spool#/var/spool#' | |
77 | ||
