Check out renameutils[1], which has the advantage over vidir of doing sanity checks before renaming. Also, this can be done in emacs using wdired. [1] - http://www.nongnu.org/renameutils/
The ranger file manager also has this built in.
Edit: Or use a more portable terminal FM, nnn pops to my mind

Rust is designed for a fairly small number of relatively modern systems; there are many close-to-POSIX systems that can’t (and I would guess likely will never) be able to run Rust code in any formal capacity. To the hopeful: even C++ has been unable to win here, despite having many more years of a head start and much more accommodation for stranger platforms. It’s just not going to happen.
What kind of platforms are you thinking of? People have got Rust running on the Raspberry Pi. https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/cdcads/

Linux on ARM is a very mainstream platform from the perspective I’m looking at this from, I’m afraid. I’m talking about strange Unices running on architectures that GCC may or may not maintain a backend for, or maybe a BusyBox available on some debug interface, maybe a school project to build a simple POSIX-compatible OS or a bootstrap for a platform that had been recently jailbroken. In these cases C is almost alway…

find doesn't return the same output as ls when run on another directory. Maybe there is a switch to do this? I'm not sure. $ mkdir -p tmp && touch tmp/a tmp/b tmp/c $ find ./tmp -maxdepth 1 -type f ./tmp/a ./tmp/c ./tmp/b $ ls -1 ./tmp a b c
The -ls flag to find prints the same as ls
from the man page:
> The format is identical to that produced by ``ls -dgils''.
Nice collection of quite useful tools. Some of these can be easily replicated by using a more modern shell (bash, zsh) like mispipe, others are just shortcuts (e.g. ifne, chronic). But what immediately stood out to me is `vidir`. I really like the idea of editing file names with an editor. Using loops and regex in a shell for mass renaming can be a mess. It should be way easier with `vim`. This tool made me install m…
I use Emacs shell-mode for most of my terminals, which allows navigating and editing the buffer just like any other file. I'll often make several copies of a command, then use a macro to alter each one; after checking that they look right, pressing Enter will send them all to the shell.

I think this is what you are looking for $ find ./tmp -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '%f\n'
$ find ./tmp -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '%f\n'

AFAIK, rust is still marked as "guaranteed to build" on these platforms, but assume only Linux. BSDs, not so much.

It's one of the reasons I like using the nnn file manager. It has a batch rename feature with exactly that functionality.

I'm on MacOS... :-/ $ find ./tmp -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '%f\n' find: -printf: unknown primary or operator
I also use MacOS and I have setup the gnu userland on my local so it matches the linux environment on our servers and containers.

A Rust program being standard on all UNIX systems.
I'll bite: Why?
