NAME

       unburden-home-dir - unburdens home directories from caches and trashes

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       unburden-home-dir  unburdens  the  home  directory  from files and directory which cause high I/O or disk
       usage but are neither important if they are lost, e.g. caches or trash directory.

       When being run it moves the files and directories given in the configuration file to a  location  outside
       the  home  directory,  e.g.  /tmp  or /scratch, and puts appropriate symbolic links in the home directory
       instead.

OPTIONS

       -b     use the given string as basename instead of "unburden-home-dir".

       -c     read an additional configuration file.

       -C     read only the given configuration file

       -f     just unburden those directory matched by the given filter (a perl regular expression) - it matches
              the already unburdened directories if used together with -u.

       -F     Do not check for files in use with lsof before (re)moving files.

       -l     read an additional list file

       -L     read only the given list file

       -n     dry run (show what would be done)

       -u     undo (reverse the functionality and put stuff back into the home directory)

       -h, --help
              show this help

       --version
              show the program's version

       Of, course, du(1) can help you to find potential files or directories to handle by unburden-home-dir, but
       there are quite some du(1)-like tools out there which are way more comfortable, e.g. ncdu(1) (text-mode),
       baobab(1)  (GNOME),  filelight(1)  (KDE),  xdiskusage(1) (X tool calling du(1) itself), or xdu(1) (X tool
       reading du(1) output from STDIN).
