DESCRIPTION
       This package provides a single command to perform actions  on  multiple
       files  selected  by  glob patterns. 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  specifica-
       tion  of multi-file copy and/or move and/or deletion operations. Alter-
       nate 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  commands,
              their syntax, and semantics.

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