.Sh DESCRIPTION
This program will remove all the rc files that the
.Xr rcm 7
suite knows about. This can be further controlled with the
.Fl t
and
.Fl d
flags.
.Pp
The files that are removed are symlinks. However, the
.Va COPY_ALWAYS
setting in
.Xr 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
.Va COPY_ALWAYS
the file is removed.
.Pp
The
.Nm
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:
.Pa hooks/pre-down and
.Pa hooks/post-down .
These hooks are run each time
.Nm
is run and therefore must be idempotent.
.
.Bl -tag -width "-I EXCL_PAT"
.It Fl d Ar DIR
remove rc files from the
.Ar DIR .

.It Fl I Ar EXCL_PAT

.Ar EXCL_PAT

.Xr rcrc 5 .
This can be repeated with additional patterns. See

.Sx EXCLUDE PATTERN ,
for more details.

.It Fl q
decrease verbosity
.It Fl S Ar EXCL_PAT
when removing dotfiles, any file that matches

should be treated as a file that was symlinked, even if it is a
directory. This can be repeated.
.It Fl t Ar TAG

.Ar TAG
.It Fl v
increase verbosity. This can be repeated for extra verbosity.
.It Fl x Ar EXCL_PAT
