- Add -D/--debug and adjust the verbosity level.
- Show before and after file sizes when -v is specified.
- Introduce a configuration file in which command aliases can be
defined.
- Add -i/--preserve-inode so inode numbers are preserved even when -b
or -s is specified.
The inplace(1) command is a utility to edit files in-place through
given filter commands preserving the original file attributes. Mode
and ownership (user and group) are preserved by default, and time
(access and modification) by choice.
Examples:
# Sort files in-place using sort(1):
inplace sort file1 file2 file3
# Process image files preserving time and taking backup files:
inplace -t -b.orig 'convert -rotate 270 -resize 50%% %1 %2' *.jpg
