swap

Command line tool for swapping the names of two files.

➜  ~ echo apple > file_a.txt
➜  ~ echo banana > file_b.txt
➜  ~ swap file_a.txt file_b.txt
➜  ~ cat file_a.txt
banana
➜  ~ cat file_b.txt
apple

This is simply a wrapper around the renameat2 syscall, which is Linux-only.

Building

cargo build

Installing

On on Debian/Ubuntu systems, I'm a fan of cargo-deb, which can be installed via cargo install cargo-deb. Then, cargo deb --install.

Contributing
