DETOX(1)                                                         BSD General Commands Manual                                                        DETOX(1)

NAME
detox — clean up filenames

SYNOPSIS
detox [-hnLrv] [-s sequence] [-f configfile] [--dry-run] [--special] file ...

DESCRIPTION
The detox utility renames files to make them easier to work with.  It removes spaces and other such annoyances.  It'll also translate or cleanup
Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) characters encoded in 8-bit ASCII, Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, and CGI escaped characters.

Sequences
detox is driven by a configurable series of filters, called a sequence.  Sequences are covered in more detail in detoxrc(5) and are discoverable with
the -L option.  Some examples of default sequences are iso8859_1 and utf_8.

Options
The main options:

-f configfile
Use configfile instead of the default configuration files for loading translation sequences.  No other config file will be parsed.

-h --help   Display helpful information.

-L          List the currently available sequences.  When paired with -v this option shows what filters are used in each sequence and any properties
applied to the filters.

-n --dry-run
Doesn't actually change anything.  This implies the -v option.

-r          Recurse into subdirectories.

-s sequence
Use sequence instead of default.

--special   Works on special files (including links).  Normally detox ignores these files.

-v          Be verbose about which files are being renamed.

-V          Show the current version of detox.

Deprecated Options
Deprecated Options are options that were available in earlier versions of detox but have lost their meaning and are being phased out.

--remove-trailing
Removes _ and - after .'s in filenames.  This was first provided in the 0.9 series of detox.  After the introduction of sequences, it lost
its meaning, as you could now determine the properties of wipeup through a particular sequence's configuration.  It presently forces all
instances of the wipeup filter to use remove trailing, regardless of what's actually in the config files.

FILES
detoxrc        The system-wide detoxrc file.
~/.detoxrc     A user's personal detoxrc.  Normally it extends the system-wide detoxrc, unless -f has been specified, in which case, it is ignored.
iso8859_1.tbl  The default ISO 8859-1 translation table.
unicode.tbl    The default Unicode (UTF-8) translation table.

EXAMPLES
detox -s iso8859_1 -r -v -n /tmp/new_files
Will run the sequence iso8859_1 recursively, listing any changes, without changing anything, on the files of /tmp/new_files.

detox -f my_detoxrc -L -v
Will list the sequences within my_detoxrc, showing their filters and options.

inline-detox(1), detoxrc(5), detox.tbl(5).

HISTORY
detox was originally designed to clean up files that I had received from friends which had been created using other operating systems.  It's trivial to
create a filename with spaces, parenthesis, brackets, and ampersands under some operating systems.  These have special meaning within FreeBSD and
Linux, and cause problems when you go to access them.  I created detox to clean up these files.

AUTHORS
detox was written by Doug Harple.

BUGS
If, after the translation of a filename is finished, a file already exists with that same name, detox will not rename the file.  This could cause a
problem with the max_length filter, if it was imperative that the files be cut down to a certain length.

Long options don't work under Solaris or Darwin.

An error in the config file will cause a segfault as it's going to print the offending word within the config file.
