The correct title of this article is chcase. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.

chcase is a perl script (command line tool) used to rename files in linux. You can change filenames to either all upper or all lower case, or specify perl expressions to operate on the filenames. It was written by "Supermike".

This is a useful command (or "script") for renaming multiple filenames at once.
