RCDN(1)                DragonFly General Commands Manual               RCDN(1)

NAME
     rcdn - remove dotfiles as managed by rcm

SYNOPSIS
     rcdn [-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
                  multiple 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
                  verbosity.

     -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.

     files        only remove the specified file(s)
