Question 2:

Question 3:

Develop a script called manfile that will be used to manage the files by allowing

them to be copied, moved or removed with interactive input from the user. It has the

following three possible command usage formats:

· manfile -c filename

· manfile -m filename

· manfile -r filename

Where filename is only one file name. For each file to be copied or moved the script will prompt the user for the name of the new file. While the user is prompted for confirmation before a file is removed. Your script should check for invalid command lines and, if an error occurs, print out a message showing the correct usage formats.
