  20 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  21
  22 The B<bos prune> command removes files from the local disk of the server
  23 machine named by the B<-server> argument, as specified by one or more of
  24 the following flags provided on the command line:
  25
  26 =over 4
  27
  28 =item *
  29
  30 The B<-bak> flag removes all files from the F</usr/afs/bin> directory that
  31 have a C<.BAK> extension.
  32
  33 =item *
  34
  35 The B<-old> flag removes all files from the F</usr/afs/bin> directory that
  36 have a C<.OLD> extension.
  37
  38 =item *
  39
  40 The B<-core> flag removes all files from the F</usr/afs/logs> directory
  41 that have a C<core.> prefix.
  42
  43 =item *
  44
  45 The B<-all> flag removes all three types of files at once.
  46
  47 =back
  48
  49 (If none of these flags are included, the command appears to succeed, but
  50 removes no files at all.)
  51
  52 To display the timestamp on the current, C<.BAK>, and C<.OLD> versions of
  53 one or more files, use the B<bos getdate> command.
  54
  55 =head1 OPTIONS
  56
  57 =over 4
  58
  59 =item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
  60
  61 Indicates the server machine from which to remove files. Identify the
  62 machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or
  63 abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L<bos(8)>.
  64
  65 =item B<-bak>
  66
  67 Removes all files from the F</usr/afs/bin> directory that have a C<.BAK>
  68 extension. Do not combine this flag and the B<-all> flag.
  69
  70 =item B<-old>
  71
  72 Removes all files from the F</usr/afs/bin> directory that have a C<.OLD>
  73 extension. Do not combine this flag and the B<-all> flag.
  74
  75 =item B<-core>
  76
  77 Removes all files from the F</usr/afs/logs> directory that have a C<core.>
  78 prefix. Do not combine this flag and the B<-all> flag.
  79
  80 =item B<-all>
  81
  82 Combines the effect of the B<-bak>, B<-old>, and B<-core> flags. Do not
  83 combine this flag with any of those three.
  84
  85 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
  86
  87 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
  88 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
  89
  90 =item B<-noauth>
  91
  92 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
  93 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
  94 L<bos(8)>.
  95
  96 =item B<-localauth>
  97
  98 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
  99 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> or F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFileExt> file.
 100 The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
 101 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
 102 flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
 103 L<bos(8)>.
 104
 105 =item B<-help>
 106
 107 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
 108 ignored.

 112 =head1 EXAMPLES
 113
 114 The following example removes all files from the F</usr/afs/bin> directory
 115 on the machine C<fs3.example.com> that have a C<.BAK> or C<.OLD> extension.
 116
 117    % bos prune -server fs3.example.com -bak -old
 118
 119 The following example removes all files from the F</usr/afs/bin> directory
 120 on the machine C<db2.example.com> that have a C<.BAK> or C<.OLD> extension,
 121 and all files from the F</usr/afs/logs> directory that have a C<core.>
 122 prefix.
 123
 124    % bos prune -server db2.example.com -all
 125
 126 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
 127
 128 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
 129 machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server
 130 machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
 131 included.
 132
 133 The B<bos prune> command cannot be run against servers which are in
 134 restricted mode.
