UNSTOW(1) BSD General Commands Manual UNSTOW(1)NAMEunstow — unstow packages much faster than stow -D
SYNOPSISunstow [-nv] [-d stow_dir] [-t target_dir] packages ...
DESCRIPTION
The unstow command is a utility to unstow packages. It performs much
faster than “stow -D” because unstow searches a package directory for
stowed files while stow(1) searches the target directory for matching
symlinks.
CAVEATSunstow does not check if a symlink to be removed points to a file of the
named package, so please double check if you are specifying the correct
package.
OPTIONS
The following command line arguments are supported:
-h Show the help screen and exit.
-V Show Unstow and Stow version numbers and exit.
-n Do not actually make changes.
-v Be verbose.
-d DIR Set stow dir to DIR (default is current dir).
-t DIR Set target to DIR (default is parent of stow dir).

The unstow utility was written in around 2008 and first released on
December 2009.
