• bin directory should be in your PATH environment variable.

TODO: Better installation mechanism and docs.

Configuration

trash_size_limit

Desired trash size after operation. When this criteria is met, erasing will stop. Value of this parameter must be a non-zero integer followed by one of the letters K, M or G (for kilobyte, megabyte and gigabyte respectively).

Default value: 512M

trash_size_limit=4608K      # 4.5 megabytes

trash_size_limit=400M       # 400 megabytes

trash_size_limit=2G         # 2 gigabytes

Unit conversion is done strictly; 1M = 1024K, 1G = 1024G.

erase_older_than

Only items older than specified time can be erased during operation. If all remaining items in trash are newer, erasing will stop even if trash size larger than the trash_size_limit. Value of this parameter mush be an integer. It will be interpreted as age in days.

Default value: 14

erase_older_than=100        # Keep items at least 100 days

erase_older_than=5          # Keep items at least 5 days

erase_older_than=0          # Disable. All items are
                            # candidates for erasing.

To disable this feature set erase_older_than to 0.
