Creates a backup `.bak` copy of a file.
Usage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`bak [OPTIONS] FILE [DIR] [COMMAND]`
Creates a backup `.bak` copy of **FILE**.
If **DIR** is not specified, the copy is created in the same directory as FILE.
If DIR is specifed as `-`, or if the user lacks permissions to copy to DIR, the
user's app data directory will be used instead.
If *multiple* backups of FILE exist, the rotating filename extension used will be: `.bak.N`.
The most recent rotating backup will be always `.bak.0`.
Pruning of rotating backups occurs after `-n NUM` backups.
If the current backup is no different than its predecessor, copying will be skipped.
Additional **COMMAND**s may be appended to list, compare, or delete backups.
### Options
- `-n NUM`
Creates at most **NUM** backup files. [default: 10]
- `-q`
Quiet. Suppresses output.
- `-f`
Force the operation without confirmation.
### Commands
- `ls`
Lists all backups of FILE in DIR.
- `diff N`
Shows the differences of FILE and its `bak.N` copy in DIR. [default: 0]
- `rm`
Deletes all backups of FILE in DIR.
