NAME
copyright - maintain and update years for copyright notices in source

SYNOPSIS
copyright [--option] files..

DESCRIPTION
copyright was a simple perl script I created to try and more easily maintain copyright notices in source files. If no option is specified then the copyright notice and years are shown.

-f|-fix
    is used to modify and correct formatting of copyright notice.

-u|-update
    adds the current year to the copyright notice as well as -fix it.

-x|-expand
    is used to expand a xx-yy date range into individual years, as this has always been the preferred way to handle copyrights that expand multiple years in the GNU project.
