Removes old files based on total amount of disk used till disk usage drops below the specified amount.
file_cleaner_by_du -p $path -d $du [-m $min_files] [--pretty] [--dry_run]
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.
-d <du> Target disk usage.
-p <path> The path to operate on. May be specified more than
once. Only the first path is used for disk usage
checking though.
-i <regex> Optional ignore regex.
-i <min files> Optional minimum number of files to keep regardless of disk usage.
--pretty Pretty print the results.
--dry_run Do not actually delete anything. Instead just check if
what it would delete is writable by the current user.
-v Print version.
--version Print version.
-h Print help.
--help Print help,
