rdel's Introduction

rdel

Recursively delete files.

Usage

rdel [FLAGS] [FILE(S)]...

Example: rdel -r -p images/**/*.gif images/**/*.tif

This will list all the files targeted for deletion along with a count of the number of files.

Flags

Short Form	Long Form	Description
`-d`	`--debug`	Output debug information as we go. Supply it twice for trace-level logs.
`-h`	`--help`	Prints help information
`-o`	`--detail-off`	Don't export detailed information about each file processed.
`-p`	`--print-summary`	Print summary detail.
`-q`	`--quiet`	Don't produce any output except errors while working.
`-r`	`--dry-run`	Iterate through the files and produce output without actually deleting anything.
`-V`	`--version`	Prints version information

Arguments

Argument	Description
`<FILE(S)>...`	One or more file(s) to process. Wildcards and multiple files (e.g. `2019.pdf 2020.pdf`) are supported. Use `` glob to recurse (i.e. `/.pdf`). Note: Case sensitive.*

Notes

Currently, using zsh on the Mac, the program exits with an error if one of the <FILE> arguments isn't found (ie. *.jpg *.jpeg *.png - *.jpeg not found). This is due to how this is handled in the shell.

You can work around this by using the following command: setopt +o NO_MATCH
