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.
