## 项目历史与用法

ren is a small Unix command-line utility for renaming multiple files in a directory using wildcard search and replacement patterns.

### 项目历史

The ren 1.0 README says Vladimir Lanin originally wrote the program and submitted it to comp.sources.unix in 1988. Rob Schipper later adjusted the code so it would compile under Linux and released the packaged 1.0 archive in March 1997.

### 采用历史

ren persisted mostly as a source tarball rather than an active source-control project. The ibiblio Linux utilities index lists ren-1.0.tar.gz under file-manipulation utilities, and Homebrew packages that same archive.

### 使用方式

ren operates in the current directory or a specified path, matching files with * and ? wildcards and constructing replacement names with #1 through #9 wildcard indexes. The manpage emphasizes preflight checks for collisions and safe handling of rename chains.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

ren is package-nerd interesting because it is a compact historical Unix utility: a comp.sources.unix-era program, later patched for Linux, preserved through source archives and modern package managers despite having no obvious upstream VCS.

### 时间线

- 1988: Original ren program submitted to comp.sources.unix.
- 1997-03-31: Linux-adjusted ren 1.0 README and ibiblio archive entry.
- 1.0: Homebrew packages the ibiblio source archive as the stable release.

### Related projects

- The manpage positions ren as a multi-file rename companion to mv(1).
