NAME
lintex - removes TeX-related garbage files
SYNOPSIS
lintex [ -i ] [ -r ] [ -b ext ] [ -k ] [ dir [ dir ... ]]
DESCRIPTION
lintex is a program that removes TeX-related auxiliary files, normally
not needed after a successful TeX run (i.e. log, aux, dvi, ... files);
they are actually removed only if their modification timestamp is more
recent than the one of the related TeX source and if they aren't readonly. In addition, all the backup files that your favorite editor has
generated are also removed.
OPTIONS
-i Asks the user permission before actually removing any file.
- -r The given directories are scanned recursively; i.e., if they
- contain any subdirectory structure, all the tree will be cleaned up.
- -b ext ext is the trailer string (the 'extension') that identifies the
- backup files generated by your editor, e.g. -b .bak; ext defaults to ~ (the tilde character), i.e. to the emacs convention. If ext includes characters having a special meaning for the shell, it must be enclosed in quotes: e.g. -b "~" (equivalent to the default). Specifying the null string, as in -b "", inhibits the cleanup of any special file.
- -k Keeps final documents (.pdf, .ps, .dvi)
PARAMETERS
- dir The name(s), separated by whitespace, of one or more directories
- to be cleaned; if missing, the default is the current directory.
