DESCRIPTION
       This  package  provides  a  single command to perform actions on multiple files selected by glob pat-terns. patterns.
       terns. 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 com-mands, commands,
              mands, their syntax, and semantics.

              The result of the command is the result generated by the last file command it executed.
