Overwriting Existing Files
The -clobber switch controls whether mhstore should overwrite existing
files. The allowed values for this switch and corresponding behavior
when mhstore encounters an existing file are:
always Overwrite existing file (default)
auto Create new file of form name-n.extension
suffix Create new file of form name.extension.n
ask Prompt the user to specify whether or not to overwrite
the existing file
never Do not overwrite existing file
With auto and suffix, n is one beyond the existing file with the high-
est number in the same form. If a filename does not have an extension
(following a '.'), then auto and suffix create a new file of the form
name-n and name.n, respectively. With never and ask, the exit status
of mhstore will be the number of files that were requested but not
stored.
With ask, if standard input is connected to a terminal, the user is
prompted to respond yes, no, or rename to whether the file should be
overwritten. The responses can be abbreviated. If the user responds
with rename, then mhstore prompts the user for the name of the new file
to be created. If it is a relative path name (does not begin with
'/'), then it is relative to the current directory. If it is an abso-
lute or relative path to a directory that does not exist, the user will
be prompted whether to create the directory. If standard input is not
connected to a terminal, ask behaves the same as always.
