+mmv (move/copy/append/link multiple files by wildcard patterns)
+
+This is mmv, a program to move/copy/append/link multiple files
+according to a set of wildcard patterns. This multiple action is
+performed safely, i.e. without any unexpected deletion of files due
+to collisions of target names with existing filenames or with other
+target names. Furthermore, before doing anything, mmv attempts to
+detect any errors that would result from the entire set of actions
+specified and gives the user the choice of either aborting before
+beginning, or proceeding by avoiding the offending parts.
