NAME
       unstow -- unstow	packages much faster than stow -D

SYNOPSIS
       unstow [-nv] [-d	stow_dir] [-t target_dir] packages ...

DESCRIPTION
       The  unstow  command is a utility to unstow packages.  It performs much
       faster than "stow -D" because unstow searches a package	directory  for
       stowed  files  while stow(1) searches the target	directory for matching
       symlinks.

CAVEATS
       unstow does not check if	a symlink to be	removed	points to  a  file  of
       the  named  package,  so	 please	double check if	you are	specifying the
       correct package.

OPTIONS
       The following command line arguments are	supported:

       -h      Show the	help screen and	exit.

       -V      Show Unstow and Stow version numbers and	exit.

       -n      Do not actually make changes.

       -v      Be verbose.

       -d DIR  Set stow	dir to DIR (default is current dir).

       -t DIR  Set target to DIR (default is parent of stow dir).

SEE ALSO
       stow(1)

HISTORY
       The unstow utility was written in around	2008 and first released	on De-
       cember 2009.
