bless files into a dotfile managed by rcm

SYNOPSIS

mkrc [-ChoqSsVvUu] [-t tag] [-d dir] [-B hostname] files ...

DESCRIPTION

This program adds files to your dotfiles directory then installs it back into your home directory. It can install files under a tag or different source directory. It supports these options:

-B HOSTNAME: use the supplied hostname instead of computing one. Implies -o.
-C: copy instead of symlinking when installing the rc file back into your home directory
-d DIR: install dotfiles under the specified directory. This can be specified multiple times.
-h: show usage instructions.
-o: install dotfiles into the host-specific directory
-q: decrease verbosity
-S: treat the specified rc files as files to be symlinked, even if they are directories
-s: if the rc file is a file, symlink it; otherwise, make a directory structure as described in rcup(1) in the section ALGORITHM. This is the default.
-t TAG: install dotfiles according to tag
-U: the specified files or directories are to be installed without a leading dot.
-u: the specified files or directories are to be installed with a leading dot. This is the default.
-v: increase verbosity. This can be repeated for extra verbosity.
-V: show the version number.

ENVIRONMENT

RCRC: User configuration file. Defaults to ~/.rcrc.
