Usage

It accepts three arguments:

• path: to the file/directory
• format: string that specifies the pattern that spaced names should extend with
• index: the first number to try if the path argument already exists

namespacer main.go 
# returns "main_2.go" if main.go already exists

namespacer -path main.go -format " (%v)" -index 3 
# "main (3).go"
