ParametersQualifiers

input-file-spec
 Specification(s) of file(s) to be renamed. Wildcard characters are
 allowed.
output-file-spec
 New file specification. Wildcard characters are allowed. Parts of the
 output file specification which are omitted or replaced by wildcard
 characters default to the corresponding parts of the input file
 specification, except for the version number. A version number is
 determined (1) by the output file version number if specified
 explicitly, (2) by the input file version if a wildcard is used for
 the input or output file type, or (3) by the next higher version
 number or a version number of 1 if the version number is not
 specified.
