10.SH NAME
11rcsclean \- clean up working files
12.SH SYNOPSIS
13.B rcsclean
14.RI [ options "] [ " file " .\|.\|. ]"
15.SH DESCRIPTION
16.B rcsclean
17removes working files that were checked out and never modified.
18For each
19.I file
20given,
21.B rcsclean
22compares the working file and a revision in the corresponding
23\*r file. If it finds a difference, it does nothing.
24Otherwise, it first unlocks the revision if the
25.B \-u
26option is given,
27and then removes the working file
28unless the working file is writable and the revision is locked.
29It logs its actions by outputting the corresponding
30.B "rcs \-u"
31and
32.B "rm \-f"
33commands on the standard output.
34.PP
35If no
36.I file
37is given, all working files in the current directory are cleaned.
38Pathnames matching an \*r suffix denote \*r files;
39all others denote working files.
40Names are paired as explained in
41.BR ci (1).
42.PP
43The number of the revision to which the working file is compared
44may be attached to any of the options
45.BR \-n ,
46.BR \-q ,
47.BR \-r ,
48or
49.BR \-u .
50If no revision number is specified, then if the
51.B \-u
52option is given and the caller has one revision locked,
53.B rcsclean
54uses that revision; otherwise
55.B rcsclean
56uses the latest revision on the default branch, normally the root.
57.PP
58.B rcsclean
59is useful for
60.B clean
61targets in Makefiles.
62See also
63.BR rcsdiff (1),
64which prints out the differences,
65and
66.BR ci (1),
67which
68normally asks whether to check in a file
69if it was not changed.
70.SH OPTIONS
71.TP
72.BI \-k subst
73Use
74.I subst
75style keyword substitution when retrieving the revision for comparison.

85.TP
86.BR \-q [\f2rev\fP]
87Do not log the actions taken on standard output.
88.TP
89.BR \-r [\f2rev\fP]
90This option has no effect other than specifying the revision for comparison.
91.TP
92.BR \-u [\f2rev\fP]
93Unlock the revision if it is locked and no difference is found.
94.TP
95.BI \-V n

97.IR n .
98See
99.BR co (1)
100for details.
101.TP
102.BI \-x "suffixes"
103Use
104.I suffixes
105to characterize \*r files.

154Missing working files and \*r files are silently ignored.
