       cruft - Check the filesystem for cruft (missing and unexplained files)

SYNOPSIS

       REPORTFILE] [-m ADDRESS] [-k | -n | -N]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents  briefly  the  cruft  command.   Please  see
       /usr/share/doc/cruft/README for more information.

       cruft  is  a  program  that  goes  over  the  Debian packaging system's
       database, and compares the contents of that with the files actually  on
       your system, and produces a summary of the differences.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options are included below.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -d DRIVES
              Search  only  the listed filesystems.  DRIVES should be an abso-
              lute path, or a quoted, space-separated list of  multiple  abso-
              lute paths (eg, "/ /usr /home"). Multiple -d options are allowed
              as well.

       --chroots CHROOTS
              Ignore symlinks under these  directories.  Useful  for  whatever
              chroots are set up in the system.

       --ignore IGNORES
              Treat  the  directory trees in IGNORES as if they did not exist.
              IGNORES should be an absolute path, or a quoted, space-separated
              list  of  multiple absolute paths. Multiple --ignore options are
              allowed as well.

       -r REPORTFILE
              Output report to REPORTFILE instead of stdout.

       -m ADDRESS
              Mail report to ADDRESS.

       -k     Cleanup spool directory

       -n     Generate differences only, don't report.

       -N     Generate report based on old differences.
