6 backup-manager-purge - backup-manager's wrapper for outdating files

9 backup-manager-purge [TTL] <options>
10
12 backup-manager-purge is the only authorized entity that can say if an
13 archive should be purged or not. Any tasks used by backup-manager may
14 have to know if an archive is deprecated (eg: the purging phase of an
15 upload method). This tool is here to fulfill that need.
16
17 Given a time to live (TTL) and a list of archives, backup-manager-purge
18 will return another list of archives, corresponding to the ones that
19 are outdated by the TTL.
20
22 --ttl=time-to-live
23 Specify the time to live (in days) for the archives. Any archive
24 that is older than ttl days will be outdated.
25
27 --files-from=file
28 A file containing a list of archives to parse, one archive per
29 line. If this option is not used, STDIN will be used for catching
30 the files to parse.
31
33 backup-manager-purge will return the list of outdated files on STDOUT,
34 one file per line.
35
37 If an error occurs, it will print the error message on stderr and will
38 exit with an error code greater than 0.
39
40 Here are the possible error codes:
41
42 bad command line (wrong arguments) : 10
43 internal error (should be reported as a bug) : 20
