RCDN(1) BSD General Commands Manual RCDN(1)NAMErcdn — remove dotfiles as managed by rcm
SYNOPSISrcdn [-hKkqVv] [-B hostname] [-d dir] [-I excl_pat] [-S excl_pat]
[-s excl_pat] [-t tag] [-U excl_pat] [-u excl_pat] [-x excl_pat]
[files ...]
DESCRIPTION
This program will remove all the rc files that the rcm(7) suite knows
about. This can be further controlled with the -t and -d flags.
The files that are removed are symlinks. However, the COPY_ALWAYS setting
in rcrc(5) modifies this. If a rc file is not a symlink but an ancestor
directory is, that directory is removed. If a rc file is not a symlink
but is listed in COPY_ALWAYS the file is removed.
The rcdn program will run hooks before and after removing files, if these
hooks exist. Hooks are executable programs inside the dotfiles directory,
with the following names: hooks/pre-down and hooks/post-down. These
hooks are run each time rcdn is run and therefore must be idempotent.
-B HOSTNAME treat host-HOSTNAME as the host-specific directory instead
of computing it
-d DIR remove rc files from the DIR. This can be specified multi‐
ple times.
-h show usage instructions.
-I EXCL_PAT remove rc files that match EXCL_PAT despite being excluded
by the -x flag or a setting in rcrc(5). This can be
repeated with additional patterns. See lsrc(1), EXCLUDE
PATTERN, for more details.
-K skip pre- and post-hooks
-k run pre- and post-hooks. This is the default.
-q decrease verbosity
-S EXCL_PAT when removing dotfiles, any file that matches EXCL_PAT
should be treated as a file that was symlinked, even if it
is a directory. This can be repeated.
-s EXCL_PAT when removing dotfiles, any directory that matches EXCL_PAT
should be recurred upon like normal. This is the default,
and is the opposite of -S. This can be repeated.
-t TAG remove dotfiles according to TAG
-U EXCL_PAT any rc file or directory that matches EXCL_PAT is considered
to have been installed without a leading dot when removing
them. Must be specified for rc files or directories that
were indeed installed without a leading dot. This can be
repeated. See the documentation of the -U option in lsrc(1)
for more information.
-u EXCL_PAT any rc file or directory that matches EXCL_PAT is considered
to have been installed with a leading dot when removing
them. This is the default, and is the opposite of -U. This
can be repeated. See the documentation of the -u option in
lsrc(1) for more information.
-v increase verbosity. This can be repeated for extra ver‐
bosity.
-V show the version number.
-x EXCL_PAT do not remove rc files that match EXCL_PAT. This can be
repeated with additional patterns. See lsrc(1), EXCLUDE
PATTERN, for more details.
