PORTSCLEAN(1) General Commands Manual PORTSCLEAN(1) NAME portsclean -- a tool to clean ports/packages garbage SYNOPSIS portsclean [-hCDDiLnPPQQq] DESCRIPTION portsclean is a tool to help users clean out the working directories of their ports tree, no longer referenced distfiles, outdated package files, and obsolete or orphaned shared libraries that were possibly left by pkg_deinstall(1) 's -P option. OPTIONS The following command line arguments are supported: -h --help Show help and exit. -C --workclean Clean out all the working directories of the ports tree. (cf. WRKDIRPREFIX) -D --distclean Clean out all the distfiles that are not referenced by any port in the ports tree. Specified twice (i.e. -DD), clean out all the distfiles that are not refer- enced by any port that is currently installed. (cf. DISTDIR) -i --interactive Turn on interactive mode. The user is asked for ap- proval before each suggested file/directory is removed. -L --libclean Clean out old, duplicate and/or orphaned shared li- braries. portsclean first deletes duplicate shared libraries where appropriate, then puts away old and orphaned shared libaries to /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg updating symlinks properly. To keep binaries working, ldconfig(8) is run after each library deletion or move. portsclean is so wise you can safely run it without turning -i on. However, if you want to do further cleanup, specify the flag to be asked on possibly un- needed libraries too. You can use the sysutils/libchk port to check which li- brary is linked with which binaries. -n --noexecute Do not actually delete any files. -P --pkgclean Clean up outdated package tarballs and dead symlinks in the packages directory. (cf. PACKAGES) Specified twice (i.e. -PP), delete all the package tarballs in the di- rectory. -Q --quiet Do not write anything to stdout. Specified twice (i.e. -QQ), do not write anything to stderr either. This is for internal use. -q --noconfig Do not read the configuration file - $PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf. ENVIRONMENT PORTSDIR DISTDIR WRKDIRPREFIX PACKAGES portsclean detects these variables defined in the con- figuration file $PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf, /etc/make.conf or environment variables to clean files properly. See portupgrade(1) for details of these vari- ables. PKGTOOLS_CONF Configuration file for the pkgtools suite. Default is "$PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf". FILES $PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf Default location of the pkgtools configura- tion file.
