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.
