NAME
memoize-clean.pl, memoize-clean.py - Remove (stale) memo and extern
files
SYNOPSIS
memoize-clean.pl [OPTIONS] [document1.mmz ...]
memoize-clean.py [OPTIONS] [document1.mmz ...]
DESCRIPTION
memoize-clean is a script accompanying Memoize, a TeX package which
allows the author to reuse the results of compilation-intensive code
such as TikZ pictures.
By default, this script removes stale memo and extern files. A stale
memo or extern is an extern produced during a compilation of a previous
version of the document which was neither used nor produced during the
last compilation of the document. Typically, stale files arise when we
change the memoized code (or its context).
memoize-clean.pl removes all memo and extern files with prefixes
mentioned in the listed .mmz files and by options --prefix which are
not explicitly mentioned in the .mmz files.
Before deleting anything, memoize-clean.pl lists all the files it would
delete and asks for confirmation.
OPTIONS
-p, --prefix
Add a memo/extern prefix for cleaning. This option may be given
multiple times.
-a, --all
Remove all memos and externs, rather than only the stale ones.
-y, --yes
Do not ask for confirmation.
-q, --quiet
Don't describe what's happening.
-h, --help
Show help.
-V, --version
Show the Memoize version number and exit.
