CLEANLINKS(1) General Commands Manual CLEANLINKS(1) NAME cleanlinks - remove dangling symbolic links and empty directories SYNOPSIS cleanlinks DESCRIPTION The cleanlinks program searches the directory tree descended from the cur- rent directory for symbolic links whose targets do not exist, and removes them. It then removes all empty directories in that directory tree. cleanlinks is useful for cleaning up a shadow link tree created with lndir(1) after files have been removed from the real directory. DIAGNOSTICS A message will be printed upon encountering each dangling symlink and empty directory. SEE ALSO lndir(1).
