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 sym-
     links.

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  Decem-
     ber 2009.
