The inplace(1) command is a utility to edit files in-place through
given filter commands preserving the original file attributes. Mode
and ownership (user and group) are preserved by default, and time
(access and modification) by choice.
Examples:
# Sort files in-place using sort(1):
inplace sort file1 file2 file3
# Process image files preserving time and taking backup files:
inplace -t -b.orig 'convert -rotate 270 -resize 50%% %1 %2' *.jpg
