Thanks. So what's the next step? How one performs this kind of rename? I have 
seen that done with functions, not sure how does it work for enums. I guess 
defines are the same as functions.

Should it be s/APR_/APR_FILETYPE_/ and s/APR_/APR_FINFO_/ or something else? 
Like so?

typedef enum {
     APR_FILETYPE_NOFILE = 0,     /**< no file type determined */
     APR_FILETYPE_REG,            /**< a regular file */
     APR_FILETYPE_DIR,            /**< a directory */
     APR_FILETYPE_CHR,            /**< a character device */
     APR_FILETYPE_BLK,            /**< a block device */
     APR_FILETYPE_PIPE,           /**< a FIFO / pipe */
     APR_FILETYPE_LNK,            /**< a symbolic link */
     APR_FILETYPE_SOCK,           /**< a [unix domain] socket */
     APR_FILETYPE_UNKFILE = 127   /**< a file of some other unknown type */
} apr_filetype_e;



#define APR_FINFO_UREAD       0x0400 /**< Read by user */
#define APR_FINFO_UWRITE      0x0200 /**< Write by user */
#define APR_FINFO_UEXECUTE    0x0100 /**< Execute by user */

#define APR_FINFO_GREAD       0x0040 /**< Read by group */
#define APR_FINFO_GWRITE      0x0020 /**< Write by group */
#define APR_FINFO_GEXECUTE    0x0010 /**< Execute by group */

#define APR_FINFO_WREAD       0x0004 /**< Read by others */
#define APR_FINFO_WWRITE      0x0002 /**< Write by others */
#define APR_FINFO_WEXECUTE    0x0001 /**< Execute by others */
