# App-FileCleanerByDiskUage Removes old files based on total amount of disk used till disk usage drops below the specified amount. # SYNOPSIS file_cleaner_by_du -p $path -d $du [-m $min_files] [--pretty] [--dry_run] # DESCRIPTION This works via doing the following. 1: Check if disk usage is above the specified threshold. If not it ends here. 2: Search for files under the specified path. 3: If the number of found files is less than the number of files to keep regardless of disk size it ends here. So if min_files is set to 32 and there are only 3 files, then it would just return. 4: Get the stats for all the found files. 5: If min_files is specified, remove that many of the files from the list, starting with the newest. 6: Removes the oldest file. 7: Check disk usage again and if it is less it ends here. 8: Go back to 6. The results are then printed as JSON. To find information on the keys, please see App::FileCleanerByDiskUage. If there were no errors, it will exit zero. # FLAGS ``` -d <du> Target disk usage. -p <path> The path to operate on. May be specified more than once.
