# 92/01/31 added check for no args left after shifts
# 92/02/17 added help

# 92/03/15 exec mv or cp
# 93/07/13 Added -i
# 93/09/29 Made abort if file exists optional.
# 93/11/19 Exit before invoking mv if no files to move
# 94/01/03 Added o option
# 94/04/13 Added x option.
#          Fixed appending of source filename, broken by earlier change.
# 94/07/23 Append only the filename part of the source path.

echo "$name: do a $cmd with extra checking and options.
$Usage
$name is used as a front end for $cmd to get the [icfo] options, and so
that a trailing / will force the last component of the path to be
interpreted as a directory, so that   $name foo bar/   will fail if bar is
not an existing directory, instead of changing the name of foo to bar. 
Effectively,  $name foo bar/   is short for  $name foo bar/foo
Options: 
-h prints this help.
-c checks first for the existence of each file, and fails if it exists.
-i is like -c except that if the file exists and stdin and stdout are a
   tty, a query is printed and a reply is read; a file is overwritten only
   if the reply begins with 'y'.
-f unsets -c and -i (in case $cmd is aliased to $name).
-o (overwrite only) checks that the named file(s) exist and fails for any
   that do not.  It is the complement of the -c option.
Whichever of [cifo] comes later on the command line determines the behaviour.
Any of these options must come before any standard $cmd options."
}

# interactive: Attempt to overwrite file should result in interactive
# query rather than automatic failure.
