NAME

       unburden-home-dir - unburdens home directories from caches and trashes

SYNOPSIS

       unburden-home-dir [ -n | -u | -f filter ]
       unburden-home-dir ( -h | --help | --version )

DESCRIPTION

       unburden-home-dir  unburdens  the home directory from files and directory which cause high
       I/O or disk usage but are neither important  if  they  are  lost,  e.g.  caches  or  trash
       directory.

       When  being  run  it  moves the files and directories given in the configuration file to a
       location outside the home directory, e.g. /tmp or /scratch, and puts appropriate  symbolic
       links in the home directory instead.

OPTIONS

       -b     use the given string as basename instead of "unburden-home-dir".

       -c     read an additional configuration file.

       -C     read only the given configuration file

       -f     just  unburden  those  directory  matched  by  the  given  filter  (a  perl regular
              expression) — it matches the already unburdened directories if used  together  with
              -u.

       -F     Do not check for files in use with lsof before (re)moving files.

       -l     read an additional list file

       -L     read only the given list file

       -n     dry run (show what would be done)

       -u     undo (reverse the functionality and put stuff back into the home directory)

       -h, --help
              show this help

       --version
              show the program's version

       Of, course, du(1) can help you to  find  potential  files  or  directories  to  handle  by
       unburden-home-dir,  but there are quite some du(1)-like tools out there which are way more
       comfortable,  e.g.   ncdu(1)   (text-mode),   baobab(1)   (GNOME),   filelight(1)   (KDE),
       xdiskusage(1)  (X  tool calling du(1) itself), or xdu(1) (X tool reading du(1) output from
       STDIN).
