.SH "NAME"
pruneemptydirs \- Detects stale source directories in a CVS tree
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBpruneemptydirs\fR\ 'u
\fBpruneemptydirs\fR [\fB\-f\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBpruneemptydirs\fR
is used to clean up a local CVS tree\&. It detects directories containing remnants of old stuff which has been removed from the CVS\&. Such stale directories often break compilation\&. The current directory and all directories beneath it will be examined\&.
.PP
Note that this tool does not remove anything; it simply prints what to do as a series of remove commands\&. You can copy and paste these commands, or use them with eval in a script\&.
.PP
This tool works better if the source directory is not the same as the build directory, since it will not print directories containing old executables\&.
.PP
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-f\fR
.RS 4
Actually perform the deletions instead of just printing them out\&. Use this option with care\&.
