NAME
acleandir - clean up a directory containing netatalk Apple Macintosh

SYNOPSIS
acleandir [-rnvi] dirname
DESCRIPTION
acleandir cleans up the directory dirname. By default it simply removes
"orphan" AppleDouble files, i.e. those which do not have a corresponding data file.
OPTIONS
- -d Also remove the .AppleDouble directory if it contains no Apple
- Double files after "orphan" removal. This will result in the finder location of dirname within its parent being lost.
- -r, -R Recursive. Clean up directories recursively.
- -n Display the filenames of "orphans" but don't remove any. Display
- size if "orphan" appears to contain a resource fork.
- -i Interactive. Prompt for confirmation before a removal. A y in
- answer confirms that the removal should proceed.
- -v Verbose. Display the names of all "orphans" and .AppleDouble
- directories removed. Reports the size if the "orphan" appears to contain a resource fork.
- -a Aggressive. Remove all AppleDouble files, not just "orphans".
- Also remove the .AppleDesktop directory if present. Impies -d option. Use with caution as the Macintosh type/creator and finder location of all files will be lost and the content of some documents, such as Symantec Projects, will be destroyed.
