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 FILEs 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.
