NAME
rcsclean – clean up working files
SYNOPSIS
rcsclean [-TV] [-kmode] [-n[rev]] [-q[rev]] [-r[rev]] [-u[rev]] [-xsuffixes] [-ztz] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The rcsclean program is used to clean up (remove) files that are not being worked on. Only checked out files from the current working directory are removed – rcsclean does not remove files from the RCS repository.
If no file operand is specified, rcsclean cleans up all working files in the current directory.
rcsclean also supports keyword substitution – see the rcs(1) man page for more information.
The following options are supported:
- -kmode
-
Specify the keyword substitution mode.
- -n[rev]
-
Dry-run mode. When this option is specified, rcsclean will show you what it would normally do without doing it.
- -q[rev]
-
Be quiet about reporting.
- -r[rev]
-
Remove revision rev. If rev does not match the revision of the currently checked out file, rcsclean will do nothing.
- -T
-
Preserve the modification time of RCS files.
- -u[rev]
-
Unlock the revision if it's currently locked. This is only possible if no changes have been made to the file since it was checked out.
- -V
-
Print RCS's version number.
- -xsuffixes
-
Specify the suffixes for RCS files. Suffixes should be separated by the ‘/’ character.
- -ztz
-
Specify the time zone for keyword substitution.
ENVIRONMENT
- RCSINIT
-
If set, this variable should contain a list of space-delimited options that are prepended to the argument list.
EXIT STATUS
The rcsclean utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Remove all working files (locked or not) in the current directory that were not changed since last checkout:
