Contents

DESCRIPTION

      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.

OPTIONS

      -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 pro-
             ceed.
 
      -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.

DIAGNOSTICS

      returns exit status 0 unless bad options are provided or a directory is not given on the command line.
