emu-clean(1)

NAME
emu-clean - remove locks and orphaned data from sources and sinks

SYNOPSIS
emu clean [<options>] [<sink ...>]

DESCRIPTION
If an emu action upon a sink or source fails, is remotely killed or exits unexpectedly, the sink or source can be left in an unclean state. This may affect the outcome of future actions, prevent emu from operating normally or just result in temporary data being left in an 'orphaned' state.

This command searches for these unwanted files and locks, and forcibly removing them. It should be used as a recovery mechanism after a fatal error.

This command is harmless if run on a emu sink or source that is in a clean state.

OPTIONS

-r --recursive
    Operate first on the source, then recursively on each sink.

-d --dry-run
    Perform a trial run with no changes made.

-S <dir> --source-dir <dir>
    Specify the directory to use as an emu source. Defaults to `.'.

-v --verbose
    Increase verbosity.

--version
    Show version information and quit.

-h --help
    Show this help and quit.
