+ <p><code>htcacheclean</code> is used to keep the size of
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code>'s storage within a given size limit, or
+ limit on inodes in use. This tool can run either manually or in daemon mode.
+ When running in daemon mode, it sleeps in the background and checks the cache
+ directory at regular intervals for cached content to be removed. You can stop
+ the daemon cleanly by sending it a TERM or INT signal. When run manually, a
+ once off check of the cache directory is made for cached content to be
+ removed. If one or more URLs are specified, each URL will be deleted from
+ the cache, if present.</p>

+<h2><a name="options" id="options">Options</a></h2>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>-d<var>interval</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>Daemonize and repeat cache cleaning every <var>interval</var> minutes.
+ This option is mutually exclusive with the <code>-D</code>, <code>-v</code>
+ and <code>-r</code> options. To shutdown the daemon cleanly, just send it
+ a <code>SIGTERM</code> or <code>SIGINT</code>.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-D</code></dt>
+ <dd>Do a dry run and don't delete anything. This option is mutually
+ exclusive with the <code>-d</code> option. When doing a dry run and
+ deleting directories with <code>-t</code>, the inodes reported deleted
+ in the stats cannot take into account the directories deleted, and will
+ be marked as an estimate.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-v</code></dt>
+ <dd>Be verbose and print statistics. This option is mutually exclusive
+ with the <code>-d</code> option.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-r</code></dt>
+ <dd>Clean thoroughly. This assumes that the Apache web server is
+ not running (otherwise you may get garbage in the cache). This option
+ is mutually exclusive with the <code>-d</code> option and implies
+ the <code>-t</code> option.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-n</code></dt>
+ <dd>Be nice. This causes slower processing in favour of other
+ processes. <code>htcacheclean</code> will sleep from time to time
+ so that (a) the disk IO will be delayed and (b) the kernel can schedule
+ other processes in the meantime.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-t</code></dt>
+ <dd>Delete all empty directories. By default only cache files are
+ removed, however with some configurations the large number of
+ directories created may require attention. If your configuration
+ requires a very large number of directories, to the point that
+ inode or file allocation table exhaustion may become an issue, use
+ of this option is advised.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-p<var>path</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>Specify <var>path</var> as the root directory of the disk cache. This
+ should be the same value as specified with the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html#cacheroot">CacheRoot</a></code> directive.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-P<var>pidfile</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>Specify <var>pidfile</var> as the name of the file to write the
+ process ID to when daemonized.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-R<var>round</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>Specify <var>round</var> as the amount to round sizes up to, to
+ compensate for disk block sizes. Set to the block size of the cache
+ partition.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-l<var>limit</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>Specify <var>limit</var> as the total disk cache size limit. The value
+ is expressed in bytes by default (or attaching <code>B</code> to the
+ number). Attach <code>K</code> for Kbytes, <code>M</code> for
+ MBytes or <code>G</code> for Gbytes.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-L<var>limit</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>Specify <var>limit</var> as the total disk cache inode limit.
+ <code>K</code>, <code>M</code> or <code>G</code> suffix can also be
+ used.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-i</code></dt>
+ <dd>Be intelligent and run only when there was a modification of the disk
+ cache. This option is only possible together with the <code>-d</code>
+ option.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-a</code></dt>
+ <dd>List the URLs currently stored in the cache. Variants of the same URL
+ will be listed once for each variant.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-A</code></dt>
+ <dd>List the URLs currently stored in the cache, along with their
+ attributes in the following order: url, header size, body size, status,
+ entity version, date, expiry, request time, response time, body present,
+ head request.</dd>

+<h2><a name="delete" id="delete">Deleting a specific URL</a></h2>
+ <p>If <code>htcacheclean</code> is passed one or more URLs, each URL will
+ be deleted from the cache. If multiple variants of an URL exists, all
+ variants would be deleted.</p>
+
+ <p>When a reverse proxied URL is to be deleted, the effective URL is
+ constructed from the <strong>Host</strong> header, the
+ <strong>port</strong>, the <strong>path</strong> and the
+ <strong>query</strong>. Note the '?' in the URL must always be specified
+ explicitly, whether a query string is present or not. For example, an
+ attempt to delete the path <strong>/</strong> from the server
+ <strong>localhost</strong>, the URL to delete would be
