# owl(1)

*The moon is bright. The owls are ready for the hunt.*

Owl is a file renaming tool; it removes character from file names which are 
not compatible with `FAT` file systems (typically `FAT32` or `exFAT`).

```
owl COMMAND OPTIONS FILE1 FILE2 ...
```


## CLEAN COMMAND
Rename `FILE`s given at the command line such that all `FAT`-incompatible 
characters are removed. By default it replaces invalid characters with 
`_U{Unicode Code Point}_`, but this can be changed, see the `--strategy` 
flag below.

## Options:

### -s, --strategy STRATEGY
Change what happens to invalid characters. Choices are:

- "remove": just remove the characters. If left with an empty string, rename 
  to "\_empty_".
- "code-point": replace each character with "\_Unum_", where "num" is the 
  Unicode Code Point of the character.

## HELP COMMAND
Show a small help message.

## VERSION COMMAND
Show version information.


## GENERAL OPTIONS
### -n, --dry-run
Causes Owl to just print a representation of what would be done without 
actually renaming any files.

### -v, --version
Causes the `version` command to be run, regardless of what other arguments 
are given.

### -h, --help
Causes the `help` command to be run, regardless of what other arguments are 
given.
