NAME
     charon.local - remove backup files that exceed a certain age from a local
     directoy

SYNOPSIS
     charon.local --dir directory --maxage days (--profile identifier | --all)
     [--dry-run] [--verbose] [--help]

     The program charon.local removes backup archives created by tartarus from a
     local directory once they reach a certain age and expire. Files that are
     older than the number of days specified on the command line are considerer
     candidates for removal unless other, non-expired backups are based on them,
     so full backups may survive longer than expected.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
     --dir
	 Specify the directory the backups files are stored in.

     --maxage n
	 Set the maximum number of days after which a backup is expired.

     --profile name
	 Set the profile name to process. This is mandatory unless --all is sup-
	 plied.

     --all
	 When this is set, charon.local operates on all files disregarding the
	 profile name.

     --dry-run
	 This option prevents charon from actually deleting files.

     --verbose
	 This option makes charon more verbose about the actions made

     --help
	 This parameter shows a brief command reference.

EXAMPLE
     The following command will remove alle files inside the directory
     /var/backups/tartarus/ created by Tartarus with the profile name "home"
     which exceed the age of 7 days:

	 $ charon.local --dir /var/tartarus/backups/ --profile home --maxage 7 --verbose
