PKG-CLEAN(8)		     System Manager's Manual		    PKG-CLEAN(8)

NAME
     pkg clean -- clean the local cache of fetched remote packages

SYNOPSIS
     pkg clean [-anqy]

     pkg clean [--{all,dry-run,quiet,yes}]

DESCRIPTION
     pkg  clean  is  used to cleanup the local cache of packages downloaded from
     remote repositories.  It removes packages	that  have  been  superseded  by
     newer versions, and any packages that are no longer provided.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by pkg clean:

     -a, --all
	 Delete  all  cached packages including those which have not been super-
	 seded by newer versions yet and are still in use.

     -n, --dry-run
	 Do not delete any package files from the cache, but show what would  be
	 done instead.	Forces the preview of the packages that would be deleted
	 to be shown, even when used with -y.  Note: the package cache file per-
	 missions  only  permit  root access.  Results will be disappointing for
	 any other user.

     -q, --quiet
	 Be quiet.  Suppress most output.  All output is  suppressed  if  -y  is
	 also used.

     -y, --yes
	 Assume  a yes answer instead of asking for confirmation before deleting
	 any out of date or redundant packages from the cache.
