=head1 DESCRIPTION

The mark utilities store a list of marked file paths in marks.db in the user's
home directory.  Once marked, files can be copied, moved, listed, or passed as
parameters to arbitrary shell commands.

This originated as a simple tool for collecting files from one or more
directories and moving or copying them to another.  A basic usage pattern
looks something like this:

    $ cd ~/screenshots
    $ mark add foo.png
    $ cd ~/blog/files/screenshots
    $ mark mv
    Moved: /home/brennen/screenshots/foo.png

This is more steps than a simple invocation of mv(1), but its utility becomes
more apparent when it's combined with aliases for quickly navigating
directories or invoked from other programs like editors and file managers.
