pruneemptydirs - Man Page

pruneemptydirs [-f]

pruneemptydirs is used to clean up a local CVS tree​. It detects directories containing remnants of old stuff which has been removed from the CVS​. Such stale directories often break compilation​. The current directory and all directories beneath it will be examined​.

Note that this tool does not remove anything; it simply prints what to do as a series of remove commands​. You can copy and paste these commands, or use them with eval in a script​.

This tool works better if the source directory is not the same as the build directory, since it will not print directories containing old executables​.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit​.

-f

Actually perform the deletions instead of just printing them out​. Use this option with care​.
