NAME

       cruft - Check the filesystem for cruft (missing and unexplained files)

SYNOPSIS

       cruft [ FILE ]

DESCRIPTION

       cruft is a program that goes over the Debian packaging system's database, and compares the
       contents of that with the files actually on your system, and produces  a  summary  of  the
       differences.

OPTIONS

       If  a  file  is  provided,  cruft-ng  will  analyze  this  single  file and print matching
       package(s) name(s).
       Without any option, cruft-ng will analyze the whole system.

FILES

       A user can tune execution by providing extra configuration files:

       /etc/cruft/ignore
              Do not process paths listed in this file,  this  can  speed-up  matching.   Example
              values:   /var/schroot/,   /var/www/   ...    This   will   override   the  default
              /usr/share/cruft/ignore

       /etc/cruft/filters/*
              Rules (glob-patterns) similar  that  are  similar  to  those  built-in  into  cruft
              package.   The  uppercase  files  are  always  processed,  the  lowercase  ones are
              processed when matching package is installed.

       /etc/cruft/explain/*
              Shell scripts that will print-out a list of temporary file belonging to a  package.
              The  uppercase  files  are  always processed, the lowercase ones are processed when
              matching package is installed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       It is possible to get some debugging information from cruft by setting the variable DEBUG.
