acleandir − clean up a directory containing netatalk Apple Macintosh files
acleandir [−rnvi] dirname
acleandir cleans up the directory dirname. By default it simply removes "orphan" AppleDouble files, i.e. those which do not have a corresponding data file.
−d |
Also remove the .AppleDouble directory if it contains no AppleDouble files after "orphan" removal. This will result in the finder location of dirname within its parent being lost. |
||
−r, −R |
Recursive. Clean up directories recursively. |
||
−n |
Display the filenames of "orphans" but don’t remove any. Display size if "orphan" appears to contain a resource fork. |
||
−i |
Interactive. Prompt for confirmation before a removal. A y in answer confirms that the removal should proceed. |
||
−v |
Verbose. Display the names of all "orphans" and .AppleDouble directories removed. Reports the size if the "orphan" appears to contain a resource fork. |
||
−a |
Aggressive. Remove all AppleDouble files, not just "orphans". Also remove the .AppleDesktop directory if present. Impies −d option. Use with caution as the Macintosh type/creator and finder location of all files will be lost and the content of some documents, such as Symantec Projects, will be destroyed. |
returns exit status 0 unless bad options are provided or a directory is not given on the command line.
