NAME

       memoize-clean.pl, memoize-clean.py - Remove (stale) memo and extern files

SYNOPSIS

       memoize-clean.pl [OPTIONS] [document1.mmz ...]

       memoize-clean.py [OPTIONS] [document1.mmz ...]

DESCRIPTION

       memoize-clean  is  a script accompanying Memoize, a TeX package which allows the author to
       reuse the results of compilation-intensive code such as TikZ pictures.

       By default, this script removes stale memo and extern files.  A stale memo or extern is an
       extern  produced  during  a  compilation  of  a previous version of the document which was
       neither used nor produced during the last compilation of the document.   Typically,  stale
       files arise when we change the memoized code (or its context).

       memoize-clean.pl  removes  all memo and extern files with prefixes mentioned in the listed
       .mmz files and by options --prefix which are not explicitly mentioned in the .mmz files.

       Before deleting anything, memoize-clean.pl lists all the files it would  delete  and  asks
       for confirmation.

OPTIONS

       -p, --prefix
              Add a memo/extern prefix for cleaning.  This option may be given multiple times.

       -a, --all
              Remove all memos and externs, rather than only the stale ones.

       -y, --yes
              Do not ask for confirmation.

       -q, --quiet
              Don’t describe what’s happening.

       -h, --help
              Show help.

       -V, --version
              Show the Memoize version number and exit.
