NAME

       acleandir  -  clean  up a directory containing netatalk Apple Macintosh
       files

SYNOPSIS

       acleandir [-rnvi] dirname

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 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.

DIAGNOSTICS

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