renaming jpeg files

[Tchize]

hi

this is a part of the documentation for a tool named jhead, available in
the universe repository:

*-n[<fmt-string>] * 	This option causes files to be renamed according to
the Exif header "DateTimeOriginal" field. If the file is not an Exif
file, or the DateTimeOriginal does not contain a valid value, the file
date is used. Renaming is by default restricted to files whose names
consist largely of digits. This effectively restricts renaming to files
that have not already been manually renamed, as the default sequential
names from digital cameras consist largely of digits. Use the -nf option
to force renaming of all files.
