=head1 NAME
rmhere - Delete files in current directory
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.08 of rmhere (from Perl distribution App-rmhere), released on 2017-07-07.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
In a directory with many files which you want to delete:
 % rmhere -f
To show progress:
 % rmhere -fp
To show progress and count the number of files first (so it'll show percentage
up to 100% and estimated completion time):
 % rmhere -fP
Delete recursively, set location:
 % rmhere -Rf --here /tmp/files
Don't actually delete files, only show:
 % rmhere -f --dry-run
Only delete files matching a wildcard:
 % rmhere --nodir -R --match '*.txt'
=head1 DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Early release, some options not yet implemented: --dir, --file, --match,
--recursive.
When deleting many files in a directory (thousands, millions), the venerable
L<rm> Unix command is rather cumbersome to use. If you issue C<rm *> the shell
will usually complain with "Argument list too long" because it expands the
wildcard first. You can also use C<< find ./ -type f -maxdepth 1 -delete >>.
This B<rmhere> command is equivalent to that, with some extra options and
features:
=over
=item * Progress report
=item * Dry-run
Just set DRY_RUN=1 or C<--dry-run> to enter dry-run (simulation) mode.
=item * Recursive option
Using C<-R>.
=back
For safety, the default behavior is C<-i>. That means, if B<rmhere> is executed
without argument, it will ask before deleting each file.
=head1 PERFORMANCE NOTES
My system: customer SATA HDD 7200rpm, Debian/Linux, ext3fs, Core i5-2400 3.1GHz.
B<rmhere> performs worse than B<rm> for small to medium number of files (1-200k
files), but as the number of files approaches 1+ million, there are practically
no difference in performance as the bottleneck lies in the filesystem. Some
numbers:
Creating 200k files using C<< touch `seq 1 200000` >>: 5s.
Deleting 200k files using C<< rm >>: 6s.
Deleting 200k files using C<< rmhere -fP >>: 1m10s.
Creating 1 million files using C<< touch `seq 1 200000`;touch `seq 200001
400000`;touch `seq 400001 600000`; touch `seq 600001 800000`; touch `seq 800001
1000000` >>: 32s.
Deleting 1 million files using C<< rm >> fails ("Argument list too long").
Deleting 1 million files using C<< find -type f | xargs -n 50000 rm >>: about
30m.
Deleting 1 million files using C<< rmhere -fP >>: about 30m.
=head1 OPTIONS
C<*> marks required options.
=head2 Main options
=over
=item B<--estimate>
Count files first before start deleting.
With this opotion, the program will do an `opendir` and list the directory
first. This can take several minutes if the directory is large, so the program
will not start deleting after several minutes. But with this option, we know how
many files we want to delete, so the progress report will know when to reach
100%.
=item B<--force>
Equivalent to --nointeractive.
See C<--no-interactive>.
=item B<--here>=I<s>
Override current directory.
=item B<--no-interactive>, B<-i>
=item B<--progress>, B<-p>
Show progress report.
=item B<-f>
Equivalent to --nointeractive.
See C<--no-interactive>.
=item B<-P>
Equivalent to --progress --estimate.
See C<--progress>.
=back
=head2 Configuration options
=over
=item B<--config-path>=I<filename>
Set path to configuration file.
Can be specified multiple times.
=item B<--config-profile>=I<s>
Set configuration profile to use.
=item B<--no-config>
Do not use any configuration file.
=back
=head2 Environment options
=over
=item B<--no-env>
Do not read environment for default options.
=back
=head2 Output options
=over
=item B<--format>=I<s>
Choose output format, e.g. json, text.
Default value:
 undef
=item B<--json>
Set output format to json.
=item B<--naked-res>
When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.
Default value:
 0
By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:
    [200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]
The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd
element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just
the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when
you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use
`--naked-res` so you just get:
    [1,2,3]
=back
=head2 Other options
=over
=item B<--dry-run>
Run in simulation mode (also via DRY_RUN=1).
=item B<--help>, B<-h>, B<-?>
Display help message and exit.
=item B<--version>, B<-v>
Display program's version and exit.
=back
=head1 COMPLETION
This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several
shells.
=head2 bash
To activate bash completion for this script, put:
 complete -C rmhere rmhere
in your bash startup (e.g. F<~/.bashrc>). Your next shell session will then
recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the
line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is recommended, however, that you install L<shcompgen> which allows you to
activate completion scripts for several kinds of scripts on multiple shells.
Some CPAN distributions (those that are built with
L<Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenShellCompletion>) will even automatically enable shell
completion for their included scripts (using L<shcompgen>) at installation time,
so you can immediately have tab completion.
=head2 tcsh
To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:
 complete rmhere 'p/*/`rmhere`/'
in your tcsh startup (e.g. F<~/.tcshrc>). Your next shell session will then
recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the
line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is also recommended to install L<shcompgen> (see above).
=head2 other shells
For fish and zsh, install L<shcompgen> as described above.
=head1 CONFIGURATION FILE
This script can read configuration files. Configuration files are in the format of L<IOD>, which is basically INI with some extra features.
By default, these names are searched for configuration filenames (can be changed using C<--config-path>): F<~/.config/rmhere.conf>, F<~/rmhere.conf>, or F</etc/rmhere.conf>.
All found files will be read and merged.
To disable searching for configuration files, pass C<--no-config>.
You can put multiple profiles in a single file by using section names like C<[profile=SOMENAME]> or C<[SOMESECTION profile=SOMENAME]>. Those sections will only be read if you specify the matching C<--config-profile SOMENAME>.
You can also put configuration for multiple programs inside a single file, and use filter C<program=NAME> in section names, e.g. C<[program=NAME ...]> or C<[SOMESECTION program=NAME]>. The section will then only be used when the reading program matches.
Finally, you can filter a section by environment variable using the filter C<env=CONDITION> in section names. For example if you only want a section to be read if a certain environment variable is true: C<[env=SOMEVAR ...]> or C<[SOMESECTION env=SOMEVAR ...]>. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable has value equals something: C<[env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]> or C<[SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]>. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable does not equal something: C<[env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]> or C<[SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]>. If you only want a section to be read when an environment variable contains something: C<[env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]> or C<[SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]>. Note that currently due to simplistic parsing, there must not be any whitespace in the value being compared because it marks the beginning of a new section filter or section name.
List of available configuration parameters:
 estimate (see --estimate)
 format (see --format)
 here (see --here)
 interactive (see --no-interactive)
 naked_res (see --naked-res)
 progress (see --progress)
