NAME
__inc_link - modify a symlink to point to the next file in sequence
This program is part of afbackup
SYNOPSIS
__inc_link [ -s ] <symlink> <increment>
DESCRIPTION
the sequence will be determined, to what the given symlink points. The
integer number at the end of this filesystem entry will be increased by
the given increment (may be negative).
The symlink will be removed and a new one created pointing to the
resulting filesystem entry. If there is no filesystem entry with the
resulting name exists, an error message is printed. If the new symlink
cannot be created or the old one cannot be removed an error messages
are printed. If everything works fine and the -s flag (silent) is not
supplied, the name of the filesystem entry to that the new symlink
points, is printed. If any error occurs the original symlink remains
unchanged.
EXAMPLES
if ls -l reports:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 af user 13 Oct 8 14:00 the_link ->
file.number.4
and the command __inc_link the_link 2 is entered, the result of
a following ls -l will be:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 af user 13 Oct 8 14:00 the_link ->
file.number.6
and some more (file.number.6 must exist)
