NAME
    charon.local - remove backup files that exceed a certain age from a
    local directoy

SYNOPSIS
    charon.local --dir directory --maxage *days* (--profile *identifier* |
    --all) [--dry-run] [--verbose] [--help]


    The program charon.local removes backup archives created by tartarus
    from a local directory once they reach a certain age and expire. Files
    that are older than the number of days specified on the command line are
    considerer candidates for removal unless other, non-expired backups are
    based on them, so full backups may survive longer than expected.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
    --dir
        Specify the directory the backups files are stored in.

    --maxage *n*
        Set the maximum number of days after which a backup is expired.

    --profile *name*
        Set the profile name to process. This is mandatory unless --all is
        supplied.

    --all
        When this is set, charon.local operates on all files disregarding
        the profile name.

    --dry-run
        This option prevents charon from actually deleting files.

    --verbose
        This option makes charon more verbose about the actions made

    --help
        This parameter shows a brief command reference.

EXAMPLE
    The following command will remove alle files inside the directory
    /var/backups/tartarus/ created by Tartarus with the profile name "home"
    which exceed the age of 7 days:

        $ charon.local --dir /var/tartarus/backups/ --profile home --maxage 7 --verbose
