NAME

tix-clean — clean temporary package management files

SYNOPSIS

tix-clean [-C collection]

DESCRIPTION

tix-clean deletes temporary and cached package management files produced by tix-upgrade(8), tix-install(8), and other programs. Ordinarily the large files are cleaned up when the operation is completed, leaving behind only small metadata to avoid roundtrips, but large files may be left behind if the operation failed midway.
The specified collection is cleaned, defaulting to the root directory collection. The cached files are stored in $collection/var/cache/tix, which is deleted.
The options are as follows:
-C, --collection=collection
Clean this collection.

FILES

/var/cache/tix/
Temporary and cached package management files.

EXIT STATUS

tix-clean will exit 0 on success and non-zero otherwise.
