  .SH "SUMMARY"
   
  .PP
  htcacheclean is used to keep the size of mod_disk_cache's storage within a certain limit\&. This tool can be either run manually or in daemon mode\&. When running in daemon mode, it sleeps in the background and checks the cache directories in regular intervals for stuff to be removed\&. You can stop the daemon cleanly, when sending him a TERM or INT signal\&.
   
  
  .SH "OPTIONS"
   
   
  .TP
  -d\fIinterval\fR
  Daemonize and repeat cache cleaning every \fIinterval\fR minutes\&. This option is mutually exclusive with the -D, -v and -r options\&. To shutdown the daemon cleanly, just send it a SIGTERM or SIGINT\&.  
  .TP
  -D
  Do a dry run and don't delete anything\&. This option is mutually exclusive with the -d option\&.  
  .TP
  -v
  Be verbose and print statistics\&. This option is mutually exclusive with the -d option\&.  
  .TP
  -r
  Clean thoroughly\&. This assumes that the Apache web server is not running (otherwise you may get garbage in the cache)\&. This option is mutually exclusive with the -d option\&.  
  .TP
  -n
  Be nice\&. This causes slower processing in favour of other processes\&. htcacheclean will sleep from time to time so that (a) the disk IO will be delayed and (b) the kernel can schedule other processes in the meantime\&.  
  .TP
  -p\fIpath\fR
  Specify \fIpath\fR as the root directory of the disk cache\&. This should be the same value as specified with the CacheRoot directive\&.  
  .TP
  -l\fIlimit\fR
  Specify \fIlimit\fR as the total disk cache size limit\&. The value is expressed in bytes by default (or attaching B to the number)\&. Attach K for Kbytes or M for MBytes\&.  
  .TP
  -i
  Be intelligent and run only when there was a modification of the disk cache\&. This option is only possible together with the -d option\&.  
   
  .SH "EXIT STATUS"
   
  .PP
  htcacheclean returns a zero status ("true") if all operations were successful, 1 otherwise\&.
