NAME
cleanlinks - remove dangling symbolic links and empty directories
SYNOPSIS
cleanlinks
DESCRIPTION
The cleanlinks program searches the directory tree descended from the
current directory for symbolic links whose targets do not exist, and
removes them. It then removes all empty directories in that directory
tree.
cleanlinks is useful for cleaning up a shadow link tree created with
lndir(1) after files have been removed from the real directory.
DIAGNOSTICS
A message will be printed upon encountering each dangling symlink and
empty directory.
SEE ALSO
lndir(1).
