==About==
FLC takes a simple plaintext list of filespecs and copies the named files to a destination folder. If a source folder-path is given, the specs are treated as relative to that; otherwise, they are treated as absolute.
'''FCM''' looks at {{l/same/lc|FIC}} output and performs any of several operations on the files listed there -- generally with the idea of merging one file tree into another and eliminating duplicate files.

==Future==
It will probably be useful to add support for remote protocols, starting with WebDAV, to make this part of a Nextcloud-client replacement. There are at least two minimal-coding ways to do this:
* Verify that davfs is installed, mount the necessary share (or emit the required command, for the user to run), and read/write to that.
* Verify that {{l/htyp|rclone}} installed and act as a wrapper for that (or emit the necessary command(s) for the user to run or as a script).

Usage: 

fcm [options] <index filespec> <destination folder>

Options:

  • -pc / --precount: even when doing a copy, do a precount of the number of files to act on first
