If it finds a difference, it does nothing. Otherwise, it first unlocks the revision if the .B \-u option is given, and then removes the working file unless the working file is writable and the revision is locked. It logs its actions by outputting the corresponding .B "rcs \-u" and .B "rm \-f" commands on the standard output. .PP Files are paired as explained in .BR ci (1). If no .I file is given, all working files in the current directory are cleaned. Filenames matching an \*r suffix denote \*os; all others denote working files. .PP The number of the revision to which the working file is compared may be attached to any of the options .BR \-n , .BR \-q , .BR \-r , or .BR \-u . If no revision number is specified, then if the .B \-u option is given and the caller has one revision locked, .B rcsclean uses that revision; otherwise .B rcsclean uses the latest revision on the default branch, normally the root. .PP .B rcsclean is useful for .B clean targets in makefiles. See also .BR rcsdiff (1), which prints out the differences, and .BR ci (1), which normally reverts to the previous revision if a file was not changed. .SH OPTIONS .TP .BI \-k subst Use .I subst style keyword substitution when retrieving the revision for comparison. See .BR co (1) for details. .TP .BR \-n [\f2rev\fP] Do not actually remove any files or unlock any revisions. Using this option will tell you what .B rcsclean would do without actually doing it. .TP .BR \-q [\f2rev\fP] Do not log the actions taken on standard output. .TP .BR \-r [\f2rev\fP] This option has no effect other than specifying the revision for comparison. .TP .B \-T Preserve the modification time on the \*o even if the \*o changes because a lock is removed. This option can suppress extensive recompilation caused by a .BR make (1) dependency of some other copy of the working file on the \*o. Use this option with care; it can suppress recompilation even when it is needed, i.e. when the lock removal would mean a change to keyword strings in the other working file. .TP .BR \-u [\f2rev\fP] Unlock the revision if it is locked and no difference is found. .TP .BI \-V Print \*r's version number. .TP .BI \-V n Emulate \*r version .IR n . See .BR co (1) for details. .TP .BI \-x "suffixes" Use .I suffixes to characterize \*os. See .BR ci (1) for details. .TP .BI \-z zone Use .I zone as the time zone for keyword substitution; see .BR co (1) for details. .SH EXAMPLES .LP .RS .ft 3 rcsclean *.c *.h .ft .RE .LP removes all working files ending in .B .c or .B .h that were not changed since their checkout. .LP .RS .ft 3 rcsclean .ft .RE .LP removes all working files in the current directory that were not changed since their checkout. .SH FILES .B rcsclean accesses files much as .BR ci (1) does. .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP .B \s-1RCSINIT\s0 Options prepended to the argument list, separated by spaces. A backslash escapes spaces within an option. The .B \s-1RCSINIT\s0 options are prepended to the argument lists of most \*r commands. Useful .B \s-1RCSINIT\s0 options include .BR \-q , .BR \-V , .BR \-x , and .BR \-z . .TP .B \s-1RCS_MEM_LIMIT\s0 Normally, for speed, commands either memory map or copy into memory the \*o if its size is less than the .IR memory-limit , currently defaulting to ``unlimited''. Otherwise (or if the initially-tried speedy ways fail), the commands fall back to using standard i/o routines. You can adjust the memory limit by setting .B \s-1RCS_MEM_LIMIT\s0 to a numeric value .IR lim (measured in kilobytes). An empty value is silently ignored. As a side effect, specifying .B \s-1RCS_MEM_LIMIT\s0 inhibits fall-back to slower routines. .TP .B \s-1TMPDIR\s0 Name of the temporary directory. If not set, the environment variables .B \s-1TMP\s0 and .B \s-1TEMP\s0 are inspected instead and the first value found is taken; if none of them are set, a host-dependent default is used, typically .BR /tmp . .SH DIAGNOSTICS The exit status is zero if and only if all operations were successful. Missing working files and \*os are silently ignored. .ds EY 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 .SH IDENTIFICATION Author: Walter F.
